REE-INVENT FILMS INDIE FEATURE ‘3RD ANNUAL MATRICHER FALLS INTERNTIONEL FILM FESTIVAL’ SCORES 19 NOMINATIONS and 16 WINS ALONG THE FILM FESTIVAL CIRCUIT 

Picked up by Filmhub  – on Amazon Prime and through Reveel to date

Santa Ana, Calif:  “3rd Annual Matricher Falls Internationel Film Festival,” the second in a trilogy of mockumentary comedies that features the travails of a beleaguered sketch comedy director, has won 16 awards (19 nominations) thus far as it makes its way along the film festival circuit, according to Cherie Kerr, one of the Executive Producers of the 89-minute indie feature and who directed, wrote and co-stars in the sendup about the burgeoning indie film festival industry. (www.matricherfalls.com) (trailer) https://matricherfalls.com/about-the-film/ 

(She interjects that Internationel is intentionally misspelled.) 

The film festival satirical sendup won a “Grand Jury Prize” in the ETHOS FILM AWARDS; an “Award of Recognition” in IndieFEST for “Feature Film;” two honors in the Accolade International Film Festival, for “Feature Film” and “Movie Trailer.” In the London, New York, Florence, Hollywood film festivals, it won in the best comedy category. In 8&Half International Film Festival it won an award for “Best Director,” and “Best Trailer,” and in the Nova Fest it was given a seat in the “Artist’s Circle,” and also picked up three “Honorable Mention Awards” for the trailer and the film. It also won an “Artist’s Circle” award in the SoCal Fest for “Best Feature” and the trailer won “Best Trailer” which screened virtually and live during its festival. 

“MF” was just picked up by Filmhub and within 24 hours, was chosen by Amazon Prime for its lineup of films and recently chosen by Reveel. 

The prequel, “The Show Can’t Go On,” (www.scgo.com) which garnered 15 nominations and nine awards, and which streams on Mometu, Cineverse, Popsy on Plex, Tubi, Xumo, YouTube Movies and TV, Amazon Prime Video,  and The Onyx Network, is a story about a failed sketch comedy show and its “conveyor belt crew, iffy actors and one burned-out sketch comedy director.” The Matricher Falls film picks up where SCGO leaves off: The three main characters cobble together surveillance footage to make a “doca-mentry.” They travel the film festival circuit (well, they submit) in an attempt to secure fame and fortune. 

The prequel, “The Show Can’t Go On!” is currently running on many major platforms, having been picked up by Mometu, Tubi, Cineverse, Amazon Prime Video, Popsy on Plex, Xumo, Onyx Network and YouTube movies and films. 

The MF story lives up to its tagline, “A film. A dream. A promising ride on the gravy train.” The SCGO’s acceptance into the Matricher Falls festival, is at the heart of the storyline which covers the hopeful trio’s experience leading up to it parallels the disappointment of the real-life failed sketch show Kerr mounted with the Orange County Crazies in 2019. The SCGO mockumentary was accepted at a number of film festivals in 2019 and 2021 and was lauded with numerous honors and rave reviews. 

“Both SCGO and the MF film were improvised from a tight storyline/treatment,” Kerr explains. “In my 45-years in comedy,” she continues, “I don’t think I have ever had more fun working on a ‘serial’ project.” 

The film was improvised from a tight storyline/treatment crafted by Kerr. “The plot was partly based on a true story,” Kerr quips. “When we staged the sketch show, “Orange is the New Orange,” and it held together by only a shoestring, we then re-lived it in a film. That venture prompted ‘The Show Can’t Go On!’ which traveled the film festival circuit in early 2021.” The film was then selected by several festivals—one in the summer of 2021; that experience also spawned one disaster after another. As such, “The MF film pretty much wrote itself,” Kerr laughs. 

Ree-invent Films is an offshoot of the Orange County Crazies, a sketch, standup, and improv comedy 501.c non-profit organization that has served the Orange County community for the past 33 years with classes and shows. It ventured into indie films in 2013. 

“3rd Annual Matricher Falls Internationel Film Festival,” has been in various film festivals since last fall. The film marks the OC Crazies and Ree-invent Films third effort. In 2013, Kerr’s “We’ve Got Balls,” a family -friendly cult, bowling movie nabbed 13 nominations and eight awards including, “Best Comedy,” “Outstanding Cast Performance,” and “Director of the Year,” among others. It is still enjoyed around the world. 

Kerr notes that the MF film team is now in pre-production of final part of this series with a projected release date of fall 2024.

REE-INVENT FILMS  INDIE FEATURE ‘3RD ANNUAL MATRICHER FALLS INTERNTIONEL FILM FESTIVAL’ SCORES 19 NOMINATIONS and 16 WINS ALONG THE FILM FESTIVAL CIRCUIT 

MF Takes Top Honors; Ready for Release

Ree-invent is awaiting other notifications from additional film festival submissions—those that have pegged it as an Official Selection.  

The film is currently running on many major platforms, having been picked up by Mometu, Tubi, Cineverse, Amazon Prime Video, Popsy on Plex, Xumo, Onyx Network and YouTube movies and films.  

The film was shot at the De Pietro Performance Center and Frida Theaters in Santa Ana, Pop’s Café in Santa Ana, and Zov’s Restaurant in Tustin. 

The prequel, “The Show Can’t Go On,” (www.scgo.com) which garnered 15 nominations and nine awards, and which streams on Cinedigm, Popsey on Plex, Tubi, Xumo, Mometu, Roku, Google Play, Apple TV, Amazon FireFox, Android and Apple devices, LG TV and Amazon Prime Video, among others, is a story about a failed sketch comedy show and its “conveyor belt crew, iffy actors and one burned-out sketch comedy director.” The Matricher Falls film picks up where SCGO leaves off: The over-wrought director and two of her favorite actors discover surveillance tape in the theater (placed by a disgruntled former sound booth technician, who planned to use it to sue the theater). They fashioned that hidden footage into a “doca-mentry.” Ostensibly, we then see the ambitious trio at the only film festival at which it was accepted. We travel that journey with them as they hope for fame and fortune.

“It was a joy to do this sequel,” says Matt Morrison,” who stars with Kerr and close colleague, Rich Flin. “We had such a blast shooting the film and adding new characters.” Along with Morrison, those who returned to perform in the sequel include Robin Fitzgerald, playing the dumb-witted Cassie; Elizabeth Millan as profane Estella; and Barbara Wilder as an easy-to-rile Greta.  Morrison plays Maynard Blankenship, while Flin plays a loquacious Mitch Brine.  

Others in the film in supporting roles include: Brent White as Todd Telliman, Matricher Falls’ only television reporter; Lars Whelan and Robbie Nelson, bumbling film festival workers; Tania Pirritano and Anabelle Monroe, award ceremony hostesses; Patrick Lewis, as Fenwick, Cassie’s spiritual advisor; Rey Gonzales, the bossy theater manager; Cole Randall, Fletcher, who edits the surveillance footage and makes it into a “story;” Anita Morales and Liz Bordon,  as snarky concession stand workers; David Anderson as Mayor Clifton Rodensky; Rusty Felbob and Duane Sincerbox as waiters at an upscale MF restaurant; Antony Adams, the winner of the “Animal Trainers for Movie” awards;  and Angela White plays diva “Ongerie,” who clearly dominates one of the film’s final scenes. Henry Nelson Tracy and Katherine Lorentz play a distributor and waitress respectively as they add spice and humor to the indie spoof.  Lily Smallheiser is the festival’s program director, and Matt Turrell plays Matthew Derby, who wins for best actor in the comedy, “What?”; Prateek Damodaren, who played a bossy tech director in SCGO, is featured in MF returning to play a conceited Hollywood agent. Their performances also punch up the satirical farce with outstanding performances. Stealing the show altogether, however, are four members of the (inaudible) rapping Mumble Gang: Bill Reed, Timothy Smith, T.K. Davies and Dan Charles Lee, who win big at the MF film festival for best song, “Envy You, Envy Me.”  

The film was improvised from a tight storyline/treatment crafted by Kerr. “The plot was partly based on a true story,” Kerr quips. “When we staged the sketch show, “Orange is the New Orange,” and it held together by only a shoestring, we then re-lived it in a film.

The over-wrought director and two of her favorite actors discover surveillance tape in the theater (placed by a disgruntled former sound booth technician, who planned to use it to sue the theater) and fashion it into “doca-mentry.” Ostensibly, we then see the ambitious trio at the only film festival at which it was accepted. We travel that journey with them as they hope for fame and fortune. 

The MF story lives up to its tagline, “A film. A dream. A promising ride on the gravy train.” The SCGO’s acceptance into the Matricher Falls festival, and the hopeful trio’s experience leading up to it, parallels the disappointment of the real-life failed sketch show Kerr mounted with the Orange County Crazies in 2019. The SCGO mockumentary was accepted at a number of film festivals in 2019 and 2021 and was lauded with numerous honors and rave reviews. 

“Both SCGO and the MF film were improvised from a tight storyline/treatment,” Kerr explains. “In my 45-years in comedy,” she continues, “I don’t think I have ever had more fun working on a multiple project.” 

“It was a joy to do this sequel,” says Matt Morrison,” who stars with Kerr and close colleague, Rich Flin. “We had such a blast shooting the film and adding new characters.” Along with Morrison, those who returned to perform in the sequel include Robin Fitzgerald, playing the dumb-witted Cassie; Elizabeth Millan as profane Estella; and Barbara Wilder as an easy-to-rile Greta. Morrison plays Maynard Blankenship, while Flin plays a loquacious Mitch Brine. 

Others in the film in supporting roles include: Brent White as Todd Telliman, Matricher Falls’ only television reporter; Lars Whelan and Robbie Nelson, bumbling film festival workers; Tania Pirritano and Anabelle Monroe, award ceremony hostesses; Patrick Lewis, as Fenwick, Cassie’s spiritual advisor; Rey Gonzales, the bossy theater manager; Cole Randall, Fletcher, who edits the surveillance footage and makes it into a “story;” Anita Morales and Liz Bordon, as snarky concession stand workers; David Anderson as Mayor Clifton Rodensky; Rusty Felbob and Duane Sincerbox as waiters at an upscale MF restaurant; Antony Adams, the winner of the “Animal Trainers for Movie” awards; and Angela White plays diva “Ongerie,” who clearly dominates one of the film’s final scenes. Henry Nelson Tracy and Katherine Lorentz play a distributor and waitress respectively as they add spice and humor to the indie spoof. Lily Smallheiser is the festival’s program director, and Matt Turrell plays Matthew Derby, who wins for best actor in the comedy, “What?”; Prateek Damodaren, who played a bossy tech director in SCGO, is featured in MF returning to play a conceited Hollywood agent. Their performances also punch up the satirical farce with outstanding performances. Stealing the show altogether, however, are four members of the (inaudible) rapping Mumble Gang: Bill Reed, Timothy Smith, T.K. Davies and Dan Charles Lee, who win big at the MF film festival for best song, “Envy You, Envy Me.” 

The film was improvised from a tight storyline/treatment crafted by Kerr. “The plot was partly based on a true story,” Kerr quips. “When we staged the sketch show, “Orange is the New Orange,” and it held together by only a shoestring, we then re-lived it in a film. That venture prompted ‘The Show Can’t Go On!’ which traveled the film festival circuit in early 2021.” The film was then selected in several festivals—one in the summer of 2021; that experience also spawned one disaster after another. As such, the MF film pretty much wrote itself,” Kerr laughs. 

Behind the camera were: Director of Photography, Chris Warren; David A. Harding, editor; Harley Severin, assistant editor; Ethan Carranza, sound; Ed Uken, second camera; Haley Dyson, Line Producer; Katherine Lorentz second A.D.; and a host of production assistants, including Santiago Solis, Thomas Milkowski, Sara Caldwell, and Keagan Fritz. 

The original jazz/funk/blues song, “Matricher Falls Blues” was composed by Jonas Lee, lead guitarist for the L.A. -based Lee Bros band. Other members of the four-piece ensemble who 

play on this high-popping track are: harmonica player Ilaya Portnov; drums, Tyler Hammond; and bass guitar, Max Lee. The original song marks the band’s first feature film musical score. The video version of the song is featured on YouTube where the quartet recorded it high above the cityscape on a hilltop in Hollywood’s famous Runyon Canyon. 

Background players include: Amanda Gould, Auriel Jones, Gia Pommerantz, Haley Dyson, Joshua Chang, Keagan Fritz, Kenny Adianto, Juno Whelan, Leilani (Lani) Turner, Madeleine Lemay, MacKenzie Lee, Malee Callahan, Maribel Millan, Mel Tuble, Mike McDaniels, Nina Rae Simbol, Noah Pao, Olivia Caffery, Joseph Markowitz, Ornella Kristina. Rachel Boyle, Rebeca Coronado, Rosalinda Tomich, Sandra Evans, Toni Alexander, Tony Gracia, Thomas Clancy, Yuping Liu, and Wendy Natividad. 

Ree-invent Films is an offshoot of the Orange County Crazies, a sketch, standup, and improv comedy organization that has served the Orange County community for the past 32 years with classes and shows. It ventured into indie films in 2013. 

“3rd Annual Matricher Falls Internationel Film Festival,” is now submitting the film to various film festivals. The film marks the OC Crazies and Ree-invent Films third effort. In 2013, Kerr’s “We’ve Got Balls,” a family -friendly cult, bowling movie nabbed 13 nominations and eight awards including, “Best Comedy,” “Outstanding Cast Performance,” and “Director of the Year,” among others

REE-INVENT FILMS HITS FILM FESTIVAL CIRCUIT WITH ‘The 3RD ANNUAL MATRICHER FALLS INTERNATIONEL FILM FESTIVAL”  

Launch Debuts sequel to award-winning ‘The Show Can’t Go On!’ 

Santa Ana, Calif: “The 3rd Annual Matricher Falls Internationel Film Festival,” the second in a trilogy of mockumentary comedies that features the travails of a beleaguered sketch comedy director, has officially kicked off its quest for honors in the ever-expanding film festival circuit, according to Cherie Kerr, one of the Executive Producers of the 88-minute indie feature and who directed, wrote and stars in the sendup about the burgeoning indie film festival industry.
