If you’ve been following my Facebook feed ( http://facebook.com/mikeboas ) you’ve probably seen some cryptic messages about croquet in the last week.

It all came about because writer Mike Russo and myself headed up a team for the Rochester Movie Makers 72 Hour Mind 2 Movie Challenge. As you can imagine, this involved writing, rehearsing, shooting, and editing a complete short film in 72 hours. At the start of this event, our team (dubbed TEAM AWESOME) was assigned a line of dialogue, a character, and a prop.

The line: “We are not the doctors. We are the disease.”

The character: Uncle Billy from Utica — a secret drinker.

The prop: A CROQUET MALLET.

Naturally, this suggested the title, “Croquet The Musical.” How could we go wrong?

I’ll be posting a trailer soon. In the meantime, enjoy the following absurd pictures.
