12.15.2021: f boyz II Men - watch the full short film here!

F BOYZ II MEN - a 17 minute alt-comedy short starring Andrew Perez, who co-wrote with director A.D. Freese. Tyler Poulsbo has a backstory. He just, like, leapfrogged most of it.

 12.1.2021: my Dinner with werner receives online premiere date!

After an award-winning festival run, My Dinner With Werner - the 18 minute short film in which Andrew plays controversial German actor Klaus Kinski - will make its online premiere. Stay tuned: it premieres on January 31, 2022.

“…Demented in all the all the right ways. Matthew Sanders wonderfully conveys Herzog’s impassively whispered slant on the world while Andrew Perez seems consumed in Kinski’s maniacal bombast. Grant Virtue is a perfect punching bag playing the restaurant’s waiter and Chynna Walker is charming as Werner’s date Christine, so much so that I don’t know if I can live in a world without Hamlet performed in 15 minutes. Consistently absurd, occasionally violent, and at times alektorophobic, My Dinner with Werner is worth its weight in Michelin stars.” - RJ Tougas, Make Mine Criterion

“This one is a straight up comedy that is aggressively unpredictable. My Dinner with Werner stands out for its writing and comedic timing. A truly refreshing experience… Hilarious in nearly every way.” - Josh Burkey, Victims & Villains

Andrew re-teamed with Bastards y Diablos director A.D. Freese as co-writers and producers on this comic short film which co-stars Aleksa Palladino, Chuck Filipov, Megan Rosati, and OG Jared, winner of HBO Max’s F Boy Island. The short is a comedic exploration of the F-Boy culture through the tragic journey of 14 year old Tyler Poulsbo: a “popular” 1997 kid who goes through a portal and finds himself as as a shell-shocked adult in 2021. Andrew plays Tyler in this absurdly epic sketch directed by A.D. Freese.
