“Good News, Bad News” (2003)

That P.I. you hired has some news for you. Comedy. 12 seconds.

Written and Directed by Daniel Hsia
Based on a story by Young Kim
Sound by Peter Samet
Edited by Peter Samet and Daniel Hsia
Detective: Charles Kim
Husband: Ewan Chung

After the successful debut of “Red Light” at the Ten Second Films contest, I decided to make another one, this one involving dialogue. It’s based on a joke my classmate Young Kim told in my television comedy writing class at USC. Charles is a brilliant comic actor, and this was my first time working with him. Ewan’s reaction really sells the whole piece.

I did a re-edit of this film for my own website, so that I could include a couple more seconds of Charles’s dance at the end.

This film was a Semi-Finalist in the 2003 Ten Second Films Contest. It appears at www.tensecondfilms.com.
