Troma Acquires the Indie Comedy "Worst Laid Plans"


Troma Entertainment recently released information that they've acquired the comedy "Worst Laid Plans". The film stars Tim Gouran, Mark Jones, Nicholas Anderson and James Grixon.

"Worst Laid Plans" hits Troma Now on April 1st.

For more information on this film, you can visit the film's official website at: www.worstlaidplansmovie.com

Press Release:

Troma Entertainment, the longest running truly independent film company in American history, is proud to announce the acquisition of Mark Jones and CB Shamah's gut-busting, hilarious, one of a kind comedy Worst Laid Plans which is set to have its World Premiere on Troma Now April 1st, it was announced today by Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma Entertainment and creator of The Toxic Avenger.

Ernie, Max and Nick are tattoo artists who, along with piercer Vit, own A-1 Tattoo. Ernie has the unfortunate task of letting the guys know that they are behind on their rent with no solution in sight. After being humiliated by their landlord, Max comes up with a plan and the guys are convinced it's the only way they're going to save their shop. The plan: scan the sex-for-pay ads, set up a meeting with the most perverted and rob them. As things start to spiral out of control, it's not just the plan but the guys' friendship that begins to unravel.

With their shop on the verge of closing, a landlord breathing down their necks and a corpse on their hands, Max, Ernie, Vit and Nick can't help but wonder: maybe they should never have become friends. And maybe, just maybe, they shouldn't be friends anymore.

After a lengthy sojourn traveling around the United States, working on sets and collecting experiences, CB Shamah settled in the Pacific NW attending the Seattle Film Institute with a focus on cinematography. Since then CB has shot a ton of live music, produced the web series "This Week at the Columbia City Theater", has camera credits for A Visitor In The Night, Measure Of Comfort and was Cinematographer/Producer for the feature Spree. CB also co-directed and co-produced the Emmy-nominated Welcome To Doe Bay and the live music documentary, Lemolo: A Beautiful Night.

Mark Jones began writing short stories, completing his first screenplay in his teens. After graduating from high school, he would go on to receive a BA in Creative Writing from Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ, then attended the Seattle Film Institute in Seattle, Washington. Upon graduation, Mark returned to his native New Jersey to direct and produce his horror-comedy screenplay, Spree. Spree screened at several festivals throughout 2007 and was picked up and distributed via Brain Damage Productions. Since that first feature, Mark has created, wrote and starred in the web series, This Week at Columbia City Theater. He was a cinematographer on the documentary Welcome to Doe Bay, and filmed and produced a reality television pilot titled The Shop, which is the influence for his latest screenplay, Worst Laid Plans.

Worst Laid Plans will premiere on Troma Now April 1st!

"B.C Butcher" Makes Its World Premiere on Troma Now This Friday


Troma Entertainment recently announced that "B.C Butcher" will be premiering on Troma Now. The film is the first film under the "The Troma Institute for Gifted Youth" initiative that they've recently launched. The film is directed by 19 year old director Kansas Bowling who directed the film when she 17.

"B.C. Butcher" will make it premiere on January 8th.

Press Release:

The first inductee into, "The Troma Institute for Gifted Youth", a prestigious new program created to honor prodigious filmmakers internationally, is Lloyd Kaufman's best protege, the now 19 year-old Kansas Bowling. Bowling is set to release her first feature length film, "B.C. Butcher" which was written and directed when she was only 17 years old, this week on TromaNow, Troma Entertainment's subscription video-on-demand service available through VHX. "B.C. Butcher" is premiering as the special feature and pre-theatrical screener available exclusively to subscribers of TromaNow.

Kansas Bowling was only 17 years-old when she directed "B.C. Butcher". She is a California native who gleans her film inspiration from her early exposure to Troma Films like, "Class of Nuke 'Em High", " Nightbeast" and "Waitress" as well as 1960's fashion and music, Barbara Bach, Raquel Welch and The Ramones. Her sartorial instincts and fresh, educated perspective lend informed wit, unique art-direction and hip styling to her work.

Bowling's vision for "B.C. Butcher" was for a film shot on 16 mm film and the set was her father's backyard in Topanga Canyon, California. The film, albeit expensive, was an artistic decision Kansas refused to compromise and was influenced by her interest in the aesthetic of the original version of, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", which was shot on the same 16 mm daylight stock.

The low-budget movie was funded in part by an investment from Lloyd Kaufman, prexy of Troma Entertainment and creator of "The Toxic Avenger", an indie go-go kickstarter and from her work bussing tables and as server in a Vietnamese restaurant in Culver City, California.

"BC Butcher", billed as "the first prehistoric slasher movie", is a campy cave-sploitation horror-comedy. The story is prompted by an act of dissension by a member of an all female cave-tribe leads to her sacrifice and mutilation by her fellow tribeswomen. When a beast of mythical lore uncovers the body he falls in love at first sight and what follows is his homicidal rampage to avenge the death of his corpse-bride.

Starring Kato Kaelin as an ambiguously gay philandering cave-fop, a cameo from Rodeny Bigenheimer and a performance by Los Angeles rock-n-roll group, "The Ugly Kids", "The B.C. Butcher" is a superlative example of a well-crafted story set within the cinematic spirit of Troma tradition.
