Who is KK Downey? Theatrical Run!

Hello!

On September 5th (this Friday), WHO IS KK DOWNEY? opens for a theatrical run at the AMC Pepsi Forum in Montreal. This 3 year-in-the-making feature debut from the Kidnapper comedy troupe has been called “the real thing…a truly funny movie” by John Anderson at VARIETY and “the funniest comedy of the year” by Matt Hayes at the MONTREAL MIRROR.

“Who is KK Downey” is a true DIY feature and owes all its credit to the Montreal community for making it happen. Please keep this trend going by forwarding this message, and showing up to the theater on OPENING WEEKEND! As Mariko Macdonald from Film Threat promises, it’s “touching, hilarious and vulgar…an auspicious debut feature of deeply funny talent.”

SYNOPSIS: “Who is KK Downey?” is the story of two perennial losers who want more than anything to be famous and popular. The only thing is, Terrance’s indie band sucks and Theo can’t get “Truck Stop Hustler,” his touching book about a young male prostitute, published anywhere. Things change however, when they decide to print Theo’s book under the name of its fictional protagonist: KK Downey. The book becomes a sensation, with over privileged twenty-somethings wanting to desperately identify with the tragic figure. Canada, HD, colour, 87minutes.

Winner of “The New Visions Award” at the Cinequest Film festival along with “The Audience Award” at the Boston Underground Film Festival.

WHO IS KK DOWNEY? opens its theatrical run in Canada on September 5th, 2008 in Montreal at: AMC PEPSI FORUM - 2313 Ste-Catherine Ouest tel (514) 904-1250.

Please show your support by coming out OPENING WEEKEND. Canadian indies don’t last long in theaters without your SUPPORT!

Starring: Darren Curtis, Kristin Adams, Matt Silver, Pat Kiely, Dan Haber & Paul Spence
