LordCatan

Sometimes, a Kickstarter project is so much cooler than it seems. Such is the case for The Lord of Catan, a short film directed by Stu Paul which stars Amy Acker and Fran Kranz. It has been made, and is now on the road as part of a few film festivals. The short film tells the story of a married couple who let a board game get a bit out of hand. Through the game, old tensions and grudges reappear, thanks to the fact that there can only be one Lord of Catan. The New York and Los Angeles premieres are coming up very quickly, and aren’t to be missed!

Director Stu Paul has a few words for all Whedonites:

 

I humbly beseech all Joss Junkies, Acolytes of Acker and card-carrying members of the Cult of Kranz in Los Angeles and New York to come out and show your love and support.  I, in turn, pledge to blow your gorramn mind out onto the street.
Sincerely,
Stu Paul
