TOTALLY BAKED: A POT-U-MENTARY
Gives the 411 on the 420
Thought-Provoking, Politically Charged and Hilariously Funny
March 30, 2007 - Hollywood, CA - Renowned award-winning comedian Craig Shoemaker responds to his son's provocative question "Did you ever smoke pot?" with the hysterically funny, wildly evocative, and politically-charged, MySpace sensation "TOTALLY BAKED: A POT-U-MENTARY" which recently premiered in Los Angeles. The film is currently screening across the U.S. and is set to hit globally when "The World Laughs as One."
On 4/20 at 4:20 p.m. in honor of the pothead "code" for their precious herb, the world will join together simultaneously in comedy clubs, universities, private screening rooms, theatres, and online to laugh their asses off as they take part in a piece of indie film history.
With an endless list of contributing famous faces, such as Stephen Tobolowsky, Danny Nucci, Nip/Tuck's Roma Maffia, Tim Bagley and some of the best comics in America, such as Al Madrigal, Jackie "the Joke Man" Martling, Last Comic Standing's Alonzo Boden, and veteran Franklin Ajaye, TOTALLY BAKED blows the lid off the smoke-filled exploration of the truth about marijuana. Satire, real-life interviews, stand-up comedy bits and songs intertwine with a fictional story to create a wild, wacky,
> side-splitting and thought-provoking film. Everyone weighs in: celebrities, university professors, bible thumpers, corporate America, and more give their high -- and mighty - pot-pourri of opinions and beliefs.
Myspace.com is receiving thousands of hits each day on the featured clips confirming the words of KLBS FM's Dale Dudley who labeled the film a "cult classic!" John Merriman of the Austin Film Festival says "It's hysterical and informative at the same time."
Famous for his best-selling character "Lovemaster," Craig Shoemaker wrote, produced and stars in the film. Named Comedian of the Year by the American Comedy Awards, Craig won two NATAS Emmy Awards, a Toastmaster Award, has performed at every major comedy venue in the country and was seen by over two million people last year. Additionally, he had his own nationally syndicated radio show, and has appeared in over 100 television shows, including "Comedy Central Presents" HBO's Comic Relief, and
Showtime's Comedy All-Stars. Craig is also CEO of LaughterHeals.org, the project closest to his heart, which brings laughter to those struggling with cancer.
