Shorts Program 1: Comedy?The Final Frontier

There are as many types of funny as there are types of people to laugh, and this year Cinequest endeavors to bring our loyal audiences a broad sampler platter of hilarity. Through odd-colored glasses, we are treated to a world where robots assist children until it is time to musically march off to war, where your arch-nemesis is also your lover, and where writing haiku can also get you all the Spam you can handle.

Comedy darker than Belgian chocolate and louder than bombs lives fruitfully alongside quiet stories of sweet chuckles and friendship, beyond rational understanding, which melt beautifully into a rich program that is guaranteed to make you bust a gut.
