Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure
TFC is representing for U.S. sales and distribution consultation, in conjunction with Josh Braun and David Koh on behalf of Submarine.
ABOUT THE FILM:
When two friends tape-recorded the fights of their violently noisy neighbors, they accidentally created one of the world’s first ‘viral’ pop-culture sensations. In 1987, Eddie and Mitch, two young punks from the Midwest, moved into a low-rent shithole of an apartment in the Lower Haight district of San Francisco. Through paper-thin walls, they were informally introduced to their middle-aged alcoholic neighbors, Raymond Huffman, a raging homophobe, and Peter Haskett, a flamboyant gay man. Night after night, the boys were treated to and terrorized by a seemingly endless stream of vodka-fueled altercations between the two unlikely roommates. Oftentimes nonsensical and always vitriolic, the diatribes of Peter and Ray were an audio goldmine just begging to be recorded and passed around on the underground tape market. For 18 months, Eddie and Mitch hung a microphone from their kitchen window to chronicle the bizarre and violent relationship between their borderline-insane neighbors. SHUT UP LITTLE MAN! AN AUDIO MISADVENTURE is a darkly hilarious modern fable.

We Were Here
TFC is advising on distribution and working in association with Producer’s Rep Jonathan Dana.
ABOUT THE FILM:
WE WERE HERE is the first documentary to take a deep and reflective look back at the arrival and impact of AIDS in San Francisco. From the team that created THE COCKETTES, WE WERE HERE explores how the City’s inhabitants were affected by, and how they responded to, that calamitous epidemic. Though a San Francisco-based story, WE WERE HERE extends beyond San Francisco and beyond AIDS itself. It speaks to our capacity as individuals to rise to the occasion, and to the incredible power of a community coming together with love, compassion, and determination.

Lord Byron
TFC is advising on distribution.
ABOUT THE FILM:
Lord Byron is filled with a cast of unique characters who each pursue dreams and missions of their own making. At the heart of the film is Byron, a middle-aged, late-20th century romantic who's confused and torn about his own ambitions and desires. The film paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of the comic and tragic world of its title character.
