"Mon Ami", made by True Hype Productions Inc, is an independent film made for next to no money, thanks to the hard work and stick-to-it-iveness of a bunch of young film makers. This is not a very new story, but what has been produced as a result is. Mon Ami straddles genres, flies in the face of convention and is definitely something that very few audience members have seen before. A perfect microcosm of the film would be that it has recently won the award for Best Feature - Length Comedy at the Atlanta Horror Film Festival. It has been accepted and lauded at festivals like the Fantastia Festival in Montreal (well known for it's off-the-wall genre picks), but also at the Friar's Club Comedy Film Festival in New York (the Friar's Club is best known for it's celebrity roasts, among other things). It's a film that has trouble fitting into a mould, but is compelling and engaging nonetheless. In a modern world where a high percentage of films these days seem to be based on adaptations, remakes, and sequels, "Mon Ami" treads new ground and offers up something truly original.
