The three shorts below were part of a big batch of films I wrote and appeared in five or six years ago that ran before the shows at The Comedy Nest in Montreal. The films were directed by Robert Higden, and actually became popular enough that we put them all together for a screening at the Montreal Fringe Festival called “18 Short Films About David Acer.”

Not long after, a television producer became interested in doing a series based on the films (13 half-hours, in a kind of "Mr. Bean" vein), but as is often the case in television, all the excitement, e-mails, pitches and promises ultimately came to naught.

Still, over the past few years, I've compiled another 30 or 40 short-film ideas, and hopefully, schedule permitting, Robert and I will get back on the horse sometime in 2006. Until then, here are three short films from the original batch of 18 for your perusal.
