Coming Soon To Your Town, It's ROLLER TOWN

Full marks to Nova Scotia (that's the east coast of Canada) based comedy troupe Picnicface. They had a dream. A ridiculous dream. and they've gone and made it into a movie.

That dream is Roller Town, a comedy set in the late seventies world of roller disco, which is not the sort of thing that you'd expect Canada's normally stodgy funding system to get behind. Picnicface certainly didn't expect them to, which is why they went to their fans instead, offering to compose custom raps and create custom dance moves in their supporter's honor. A host of these videos are currently hosted on the film's official site and they are, frankly, works of demented genius. On that back of that early support the group wen out and shot a concept promo then dove into the actual film, picking up some of that normally stodgy public support funding along the way and a distribution deal with Canada's D Films. No release date has been set yet but apparently they wrapped principal photography back in November.

Canada has a rich tradition in off beat comedy and these guys look to be the next ones to bear that particular torch. Check out the hysterical promo piece below.
