“Little Man of Steel” accepted into the Dances With Films festival
Little Man of Steel, a short film by Larry Ziegelman which Protokulture created the VFX for, is making its entrance into the west coast festival circuit. The short film, about Clark Kent’s accidental heroism while condom shopping with Lois Lane, will be making its west coast premiere at the 16th annual Dances With Films Festival (DWF) in Los Angeles.
DWF will run this year from May 30th- June 9th. This independent festival was formed in 1998 by a group of filmmakers who envisioned a festival where ‘who you know’ didn’t matter, only the quality of the work. DWF is one of the highest attended film festivals in Southern California with more than 10,000 attendees each year.
“Thank you to all the cast and crew and investors for believing in the script and in me!” Ziegelman says,”Hopefully this is just the beginning of its run!”
Protokulture gives “Little Man of Steel” its VFX superpowers
Clark Kent brings protection to humans all over the world, so why wouldn’t he play it safe and smart between the sheets with Lois Lane? Larry Ziegelman’s Little Man of Steel, a comedy short full of many kinds of action, shows the adventures and misadventures of Lois and Clark’s first trip condom shopping. Protokulture built all the Visual Effects of the film’s explosive climax.
Protokulture helps brew “Coffees,” Alex Beh’s latest short film
Excitement has been percolating for the MIFF Comedy Shorts screening on Tuesday, April 2nd, where the short film Coffees will be served up hot and fresh. In addition to creating the special effects and titling for Coffees, Protokulture also co-produced Alex Beh’s latest comedy-unromance.
The director, North Shore native Alex Beh, also stars in the film as Mikey, who offers coffees and desperation to try to win back his super-hot ex played by Nicky Whelan (Hall Pass, Scrubs). The movie, shot in Los Angeles, is robust with glamour and infused with stardom- some familiar faces include Efren Ramirez (Napoleon Dynamite) and Julie McNiven (Mad Men).
