The Story: A modern day parody of William Shakespeare's immortal story about Hamlet's struggle to avenge the death of his father, the King of Denmark.

Production Notes: "Hamlet" was written in about 2 weeks. The first draft was completed after a strenuous process of going through the entire original text of the play and snipping lines and rewriting scenes. The hardest part of writing the script was actually determining how to make each scene funny. We inevitably had to cut some scenes out simply because they would've made the movie insanely long or they just weren't funny enough (though many would argue that some unfunny jokes still remain in the final cut). We decided to leave out the character of Ophelia completely. We also significantly shortened the scenes involving Polonius and Laertes. There were even scenes we filmed that we looked at and decided to cut later. It took us one month to shoot one hour and fourty-five minutes of raw footage for the film. We also edited the footage during that time, bringing the film to it's final 45 minute length.
