After sell-out event screenings across the nation, Australian comedy film “The Heckler” is coming to DVD and digital download on October 21 and in the lead up, we’ve got a look at a couple of fun cast featurettes, some stills and the official trailer!
The local Melbourne-shot feature centres on a self-obsessed comedian, who has his body hijacked by the spirit of a jealous heckler.
“The Heckler” marks the feature film debut of local talents Kate Jenkinson (‘Hiding’, Offspring’), Emily Taheny (‘Mad as Hell’, ‘It’s a Date’) and Simon Mallory (‘Comedy Inc’) and also stars CJ Fortuna (‘Kinne’), Scott Harrison (‘Charlie & Boots’, ‘The Hollowmen’) and Dave Lawson (‘Utopia’) along with a host of accomplished comedy performers including Tony Martin and Jeff Green.
The film was written and produced by Steve Mitchell and directed by Ben Plazzer.
THE HECKLER tells the story of a stand-‐up comedian named Steve who is hell-‐bent on becoming the ‘next big thing’. While single-‐mindedly focusing on his dream of hitting the big time, Steve finds himself caught up in a dubious situation when his body is hijacked by the spirit of a jealous heckler. These mysterious and unexpected circumstances lead Steve on a new mission to reclaim his body before the obnoxious, vegetarian, port swilling imposter ruins his career.
