CHRISTOPHER PRIEST
(1943-2024)

It was my proudest moment to collaborate with Christopher Priest
in making the 20 minutes film "The Stooge" (based on one of his stories
recently published in the book "Episodes")... and a devastating heartbreak
to hear of my dear friend's passing on February 2.

“Classy, subtle, witty, unexpected.
The Stooge is offbeat, intriguing,
thoroughly cinematic, sometimes funny,
it has beautiful photography and music…
and real magic.”

TRAILER

Watch THE FULL SHORT FILM!!

Milton The Eternalist (Robert Picardo) tells the story of young Barry Henson (Pat Scott), hired for the role of magician's assistant. A simple enough job - all he had to do was sit in the audience. When the magician, a world-weary trouper

named Splendido (Whit Haydn), called for a volunteer to come up on stage to help with the next illusion...

...he would be the one. He would be the stooge. But is that all? What is Angela (Carisa Hendrix) doing,

and what is she trying to tell him? Barry was soon to find out, in a way that was to change his life.

AS MORE MAGICIANS GATHER FOR THE NEXT TRICK...
