Missing Pieces by Samah Tokmachi

A dear friend of mine, Samah Tokmachi, has a short film that is a semi-finalist in the Now Film Festival. Missing Pieces, a comedy, is now appearing on MySpace where Samah needs feedback to help the film get off the web and into the Now Film Fest that will be screening in Los Angeles.

If you need more of a hook before you go watch it and vote for it, the word testicles appears in it more than a dozen times and it stars Rainn Wilson ( The Office, Six Feet Under.) A little star power never hurts anyone.

You can watch the film here but please - give it a thumbs up on Myspace...
