BFly Films Presents Two Silent Comedy Shorts
BFly Films --a local indie film company specializing in silent comedy movies-- delight in presenting to you the first two episodes of our latest cinematic adventure, Nikola's Nickelodeon.
Inspired by the visionary inventor Nikola Tesla and his most famous rival, Thomas Edison, our story takes us to the beginning of the motion film phenomenon. Join us for this whimsical tale shot on super 16mm film right here in Portland, OR.
"Maiden Voyage" reveals Tesla's newest invention, the first ever radio-controlled device! It also reveals Thomas Edison's determined damsel spy, Lulu Pommepourrie; a Parfait French troubadour on a disastrous date with an Irish schoolteacher; and two brave young lads enjoying a day on the riverside!
"Trick Nickel" unveils the Phantoscope --Thomas Edison's latest innovation on his movie machine. This hybridized abomination, created from Nikola Tesla's stolen Thought Visualizer plans, has trapped the performers in a remote dimension. A trickster with a trick nickel discovers the trap, but can she trip it?
