Filmi Shorts : Brown Guys Do – 1.05 Simon & Garfunkel – World Premiere
Friday, September 27th, 2013
World Premiere
Brown Guys Do – 1.05 Simon & Garfunkel (Web Series)
Directed By Maninder Chana
Length: 4:22
Country: Canada
Synopsis:
Back in the early 2000s, there was a comedy troupe named Mixed Nuts. It played sold out shows and garnered rave reviews. What was unique about the troupe was that it featured a very multicultural cast that did every accent or character under the sun. The goal was to push minorities (South Asian) into the mainstream. It’s obviously happened in the interim, but one thing that has remained missing is showcasing the ability to do voices beyond East Indian, Arabic (thanks for all the wonderful terrorist roles btw) or regular North American. That’s where “Brown Guys Do” steps in. It shows that people of colour have a range of talent to do accents and characters beyond those typically associated with their race or background.
