Zachary Rosenau’s latest short film Pipe Down! is a hilarious slapstick yarn that follows Tip and Hurl, two
snow-shovelers in Skunnahaftaby, NY, whose lazy spring day becomes entangled in
the town's political underworld of hired-plumbing. The film pits one incompetent ruffian
named Rakes against the indignant up-start, June. How can Tip and Hurl help
June? Can they bring their shovels? And who's making all that racket?!?!
Pipe Down! is Writer/Director Rosenau’s
fifth short film. Filmed entirely in Albany, Pipe Down! features local actors in
recognizable settings and outlandish antics, characteristic of the bygone days of slapstick.
“I like the classic pre-World
War II look of those movies,” says Rosenau. “You see that era in a lot of the
buildings around Albany so we wanted to make use of that. We’re just trying to
feature what is cool visually about this area.”
Pipe Down! debuts on Friday
June 1st at G’s Discount Beverage Mart, located at 142 Central
Avenue in Albany. The showings of this short film will begin at 5pm and run
until 9pm.
