“Duck, Duck, GOOSE!” has no explosions or boobies. Well, wait a minute... It does feature one boob named Jacob (D.C. Douglas - Criminal Minds, 24) who longs to keep his ex-wife close-by for masochistic pleasure. There's also C.B. (Bryan Cuprill - Accidentally On Purpose), a nervous romantic with a hapless crush on an exotic burping beauty named Lizzie (Robin Daléa - Miami Medical), who only wants to find a man with a mind like a woman, fall in love, and fly away to Paris.

Featuring cameos from Bess Meyers (Heathers, Capote), Dan Butler (Frasier, Silence Of The Lambs), Michael Cade (California Dreams), Lisa Long (Yes Man, Cast Away), and Diane Mizota (Boogie Nights, Austin Powers in Goldmember).

It's an intoxicating blend of early sixties European romp and post-modern cynicism in glorious technicolor!

“As if speed dating wasn’t wild and wacky enough, and a little weird too, 'Duck, Duck, Goose!’ creates a manic, over-the-top illustration of what can happen when you’ve decided to utilize this fast food dating process. C.B. takes the blind date plunge and surfaces with Lizzie, a beautiful young woman who’s obsessed with the French language and her dream of some day flying off to Paris. Lizzie is also divorced. Nothing weird there. But she also continues to live with her ex-husband as a kind of “best buds” type of thing. Cue weirdness and cue the squirm inducing uncomfortable situation for C.B. as he picks up Lizzie for their first date only to have this ex-hubby insisting on tagging along. And so the three speed off into this creepy date from hell that leads to many revelations for these characters and plenty of laughs for the audience.\ And “Duck, Duck, Goose!” doesn’t skimp on the laughs, either. From moment one, you understand that you’re watching the work of a comedically talented cast and crew. The jokes are rapid fire and always hit their mark, a lot of that success having to do with the cast seemingly having so much fun with the material. Having a little trouble with your love life? I prescribe a little “Duck, Duck, Goose!” to help pick you up out of the gutter.” 4 stars! Eric Campos, FILM THREAT

“I sat in the audience last night when your film showed and people were laughing and totally rolling with it. The biggest laugh always seems to come from your speech at the urinal (and it's brilliant pay-off at the table about looking for the chair for ten years), and when everyone in the restaurant 'flips back' in their chairs after the car-ride. Oh My God People Love That. Pure Fun...” Mike Zimmerman Festival Director NEW YORK EMPIRE FILM FESTIVAL

“The adult version of this childhood game is figuratively played out in ‘Duck, Duck, Goose’, a 21-minute film playing during the “Viva La Laugh” segment of the evening’s events. And it contains some good chuckles, with the film, performances and script all being a bit over the top. This makes for a comical satire on dating, love and self-empowerment. DDG also presents a love triangle at its weirdest… Things become increasingly weirder as these relationships begin to resemble an odd variation of that duck, duck, goose game. Only this is not an innocent, childlike adventure. A quirky love story—if you want to call it that—at its finest.” Christa Martin GT WEEKLY Santa Cruz, CA

“Stylistic, inspired fun!” David Miner, Producer 3 ARTS ENTERTAINMENT “A great, fun-filled success!" Tony Carey,, VP of Production BRILLSTEIN-GREY ENTERTAINMENT “Tres entertaining!” Toni Gallagher, Executive Producer VH1 “I liked it... Especially the funny parts!” Paul Guay, Writer "Heartbreakers," "Liar, Liar"
