For the second year in a row, Attackships creative Sam Akina directed a trio of commercials for the Seattle International Film Festival, the city of Renton and Evil Slave Productions. The commercials featured local celebs John Curley and Adam Gherke reprising their roles as a miscreant duo with a penchant for pitching terrible movie ideas. This years promos see the pair sneaking on to a movie set to pitch a slew of bad ideas to the films creators while avoiding security guards at every turn. Their list of victims this year included the Mayor of Renton, played again by Paul Eenhorn (This is Martin Bonner), along with several new additions to the cast including director/screenwriter John Jacobsen (Around The Fire) and local Seattle crimefighter Phoenix Jones. The videos will be posted to our site soon!
