APE SH!T screening in Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films - August 23-29 
APE SH!T has been officially selected to screen at the world famous (and highly prestigious) Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films!!!! How the hell did that happen? Who knows. Maybe the patron Saint of Scatology, Scatman Crothers had something to do with it.
Either way, we're fine with it. We're gonna try and send a delegation of SHIT-heads out to raise a ruckus. So wish us luck!
No details just yet. We pleased as punch to be screening in this world famous film fest. It's like the Sundance of short film fests!

APE SH!T goes all the way live!
Watch APE SH!T "Wahoo" now on SuperDeluxe.com
 **************************************************************************** March 3, 2007
slap! waaaa! we made delivery!
We pushed hard! We pushed long! Veins in our neck and face throbbed! We nearly passed out as the blood rushed to our heads in the BIG final push... butt now, plop... we have given life!
Please send gifts... booze... contraband... weapons... heinous drugs... scantily cald vixens... and love... and lube... and nunchucks...
The lil' baby will be ready for viewing soon (see below for a sneak peek). The adoptive parents are getting the bells and whistles all lined up for the lil' guy's debut.
Speaking of adoptive parents, it looks like Madonna missed the boat on snagging this lil' African tree critter. The proud new parents of Albert and company are residing in a building on Williams Street in Atlanta , GA. You might be familiar with some of their work, as they are quite famous (just like Madonna!). They're the hooligans churning out such gems as the hilarious cartoons (and bomb threats) on [adult swim] on the Cartoon Network. But don't go flipping the clicker around looking for us on the boob tube just yet. Instead, click your boob on the mouse-clicker and aim that nipple for www.SuperDeluxe.com . Good ol' Super Deluxe is a new online comedy channel brought to you by the Williams Street team.

Animatic Done and Done
Holy crap-man, bat-bat! We done went and finished the animatic! For all you non-tech nerds, that means we have edited the dialogue, added sound effects, drawn and scanned the storyboards and timed them out to the audio track on the computer-thingy. So basically, the animatic is a slideshow of hilarious images (mostly still images with some crude animation here and there) married (non-gay-marriage, okay?) to the audio. It's sorta the rough cut of animation. And dude, it's pretty salty/sweet (like a Sasquatch's big vagina), which means it's funny lookin' or something.
We still gotta loop a line or loop a poop grunt or something, but we'll get to that.
This is another milestone for us. Next, we do the animation!
Please do not flush paper towels down the toilet,
-the Mgt.

Voice Recording
We did the voice recording on Monday at fabulous Million Dollar Sound. Kurtis D is always a thrill to work with.
And
Holy shit! I'm sure glad I don't have cracked ribs right now, cuz the laughter would have killed me. Seriously serious funny shit. No lie.
The team we have assembled is freakin' amazing. On all fronts, this is top notch all the way. I can't imagine a better group of folks to be working with.
I smiled like a mule eating garlic all night. Gooood stuff.
Hope to be edited by the end of the week.

Table Read
Holy crap! We had our first table read on Friday and I nearly crapped myself with laughter. I did pee my britches. I thought that was appropriate. But I sucked it up and held in the #2 as a courtesy to the actors in the room. Butt seriously, it was really really funny. We rehearsed four APE SH!T scripts: "Wa-Hoo," "Spring Break One Off," "Fart, Genie in the Bottle," and "Crime Machine."
Friday's read-through was with the key players (Maurice, John and Ryan H.). Everyone was cracking each other up. It was fantastic. We do a second rehearsal on Sunday with all the cast and crew and beer and pizza. Good times!
Stay tuned!
Thanks,
~Team APE SH!T
