Working with Fark T.V.
Chris just shot with the Fark T.V. team for the second time yesterday. Here's a link to the short...
They take daily news stories and twist them in to sketch comedy skits.
In this skit, they covered a story (and this was covered by the media) about a guy who was going to euthanise his two pets until he noticed the face of Christ had appeared on the doggie door. He decided that this was a sign of divine intervention so he spared the animals an untimely death. They filmed this as a parody trailer ape-ing "The Da Vinci Code" entitled "The Dog Vinci Code"
