Shot entirely in Ottawa, Canada, the retro-style comedy ATTACK OF THE GORILLA! recently had its cast and crew showing at Ottawa’s Mayfair Theatre, June 27, 2013.
A comedic salute to 1950's "Monster on the Loose" B-Movies (with modern twists), ATTACK OF THE GORILLA! tells the tale of Anna, a young woman who discovers an escaped gorilla is killing her friends and family. Her only hope to stop the beast is booze-hound TV-show-host Riggs Deardon who tussled with another gorilla 20 years previously. Anna enlists the help of her sarcastic boyfriend Stephen, Riggs' lost in the Rat Pack-era ex-wife Mimsy, and not-quite-with-it cop Officer Landis, to stop the beast before it kills again!
Before shooting began, the producers found an innovative way to raise production funding by offering Executive Producer credits to anyone willing to invest $20 or more. After several Ottawa media outlets picked up the story, individual investors donated several thousand dollars in increments ranging from $20 to $5000.
ATTACK OF THE GORILLA! stars theatre and film veterans Sara Duplancic, Francis Fisk, Paul Washer (Shoot ‘Em Up, 16 Blocks), Sherry Thurig (The Bonesetter) and Penu Chalykoff. The film was written and directed by Dave Shaw and produced by Shaw and Julian Francis Adderley.
