Hitmen, Clowns, Leprechauns, Living Suits, Killer Doughnuts and Angry Street Cleaners can all be seen in Filmmaker Chris Mancini’s MYOPIC VISIONS. With a unique vision of Science Fiction and Comedy, this compilation presents all of Chris’ award winning short films in one place for the first time.
The films have played such prestigious festivals as Slamdance, HBO’s U.S. Comedy Arts, London Sci Fi Film Festival, and many others.
The Sci Fi Channel also presented Chris the “The Future of Film” Filmmaker award and aired his award winning short film SKINS, which The Museum of Television and Radio archived as an “Important Short Film.”
Numerous luminaries have helped out with this compilation including comedians and actors from HBO’s Mr. Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, Babylon 5, The Brady Bunch Movies, and Emmy award winning composer Gary Stockdale provided numerous original scores.
RAINBOW”S END
Three small time crooks capture a Leprechaun and try to shake him down for his pot of gold. Starring Dean Cameron (Summer School, Men at Work) and Mark Povinelli (National Lampoon’s The Trouble with Frank).
HITCLOWN

Starring Jay Johnston (HBO’s Mr. Show, Anchorman, Men in Black II) and Jennifer Elise Cox (The Brady Bunch Movie, A Very Brady Sequel) Shot in black and white with no dialogue, Hitclown is a comedy noir that explores the thing inside all of us that runs opposite to our outward natures.
SKINS

Now, along with being rejected for the person he truly is, his "skin self" is out for revenge. Starring Paul F. Tompkins (VH-1’s Best Week Ever, HBO’s Mr. Show) and Jay Johnston (HBO’s Mr. Show, Anchorman, Men in Black II) and featuring Andy Kindler (Everybody Loves Raymond)
