About Me


Check out what people are saying about TCP!:
"A brooding man in a black hat flies into a room where the partygoers are oversized hors d’oeuvres munching on tiny people. It’s a surreal masterpiece culminating in a non sequitur-heavy conversation between our leading man and a stoic barkeep. Amusing and marvelously weird. Dali and Magritte would have loved it." - Robert W. Butler, The Kansas City Star
"The Cocktail Party is the strongest contribution to the bizarro art movement yet. It blends the best of unusual film, literature, and visual art to create something far more dense and compelling than most feature length films. If we're lucky, this will only be the first entry in the body of a genius filmmaker's work." - John Edward Lawson, author of Last Burn in Hell
A black and white animation so vibrant you'll swear in a court of law that it was filmed in glorious Technicolor. - Bradley Sands, author of It Came from Below the Belt and editor of Bust Down the Door and Eat All the Chickens
Filled with beautifully hand drawn bewilderment, The Cocktail Party is a fantastic piece of bizarro film. Brandon Duncan has created a ten-minute masterpiece, an adaptation of a story by the exceptionally absurd mind of writer D. Harlan Wilson. Together these artists have given birth to a new breed of offspring that will surely catch the eye of those with a taste for true talent and originality. The Cocktail Party is a rare and wonderful gift. - Dustin La Valley, author of The Bleeding
We really enjoyed the film. Great story, great animation, great music. You guys are both strangely talented (and that's a compliment)! I will definitely show it to some friends. I think my son, Matt, will enjoy the bonus CDs as well (I'm more a classic rock guy). -Jim Phifer
The Cocktail Party was great. I honestly thought, after watching the clips, there wouldn't be a lot of surprises but it far surpassed all expectations. -Andersen Prunty
The Cocktail Party blew me away!  The animation was stellar and the soundtrack rocked.  If you've read the short story, you have to see this, and if you haven't read the story, you really have to see this.  Very fun.  Now somebody pass me an appetizer.  Nicole Del Sesto - Author, All Encompassing Trip
"True to Wilson's story, The Cocktail Party is a perfect irrealist experience. A funny, mind-bending, visual masterpiece." -Gina Ranalli
