Uninvited Turtle: Pookie

This is a post from UninvitedTurtle.com, an ill-fated Squarespace site I had created for some friends.

Short film created in 24 hours for the 2009 Seattle Film Race; the theme and surprise element were "superstitious" and "swallowing a pill".  Here is a low-quality YouTube version:

Interesting Tidbits

• A black cat (with some white around its face) actually strolled down the street prior to shooting the restaraunt scene.  Sam is actually pointing to where it was during that part.
• "That's what she said" became the rummy mantra of the night, fitting it in became absolutely hilarious during our increasing deliriousness.

Special Thanks to Sara and Ed at Calamity Jane's!
