The Short Story
The Short Story is quite possibly the most unique comedy you’ll ever experience.
Director, Jason R. Stewart (The Trespassers) presents a story about a young woman, Sandy (newcomer, Kelly Marie), with aspirations of entering a short story contest. She gets full support of her husband Gregory (Jason Stewart) and some stiff competition from Gregory’s conniving co-worker, Dexter (Jon Kruithof of Concrete Robe and Splitting Images fame). Though winning may be a long shot, this does not deter Sandy from trying. The plot sounds simple, but the unique aspect of this story is Sandy’s imagined story ideas. As Sandy types, story ideas are acted out on-screen with some very funny results. Story ideas include: “The Masked Maniac”, “The Shakespeare/ Sci-Fi combo”, and “The Mad Scientist”. It’s like a bunch of mini-movies-within-a-movie! The story goes through Sandy’s many ideas, her writer’s block, her completion of the story, and finally, the contest results. Will Sandy realize her dream? Will Dexter cheat his way to victory? These questions and more will be answered in this unique and enjoyable movie!
Available for the firs time on DVD, The Short Story has been digitally re-edited from the original master tapes. This “ultimate edition” also includes additional, never-before-seen footage. Plus, after the program, stay tuned for The Missing Pages, a look behind this video classic. Hosted by Kelly Marie, it includes deleted scenes, out-takes, facts and a special Q & A with Jason Stewart and Kelly Marie, discussing The Short Story more than a decade after the movie was shot.
