Comedy

HEAT (14:39)

HEAT Trailer (1:03)

The Chimney (3:25)

HEAT was created from a strong desire to tell a story and use the wonderful music of Leroy Shield. It's a romantic-comedy starring two humane society house cats, told in the style of a silent movie. With a running time of almost 15 minutes, HEAT asks for more attention span than the average YouTuber is willing to commit but those who do are rewarded. Reviewers have called it "endearing... charming... a riot... touching... and very funny."

Raymond Scott's song "Powerhouse" was the motivating factor in the creation of The Chimney. A storyboard and strict timeline of the music guided its production. Steve Marcuson appears in the role of The Chimney. [view poster]
