Homestead Editorial recently edited two parody documentary trailers which were prominently featured during the just concluded Full Frame Film Festival. Lancy Doty, Partner, Executive Producer, Homestead Editorial, made the announcement.

Homestead editor Charly Bender edited the two parodies, which are entitled ‘March of the Penguins’ and ‘The Thin Blue Line.’ At 90-seconds, the ‘Penguins’ trailer parodies the 2005 Oscar winning documentary by the same name. However, in the comedic version, the penguins come under attack by a group of military operatives. The new trailer was produced by McKinny Silver in Durham, N.C., and was directed by Kevin Donovan of Form.

The original ‘Thin Blue Line’ was a l988 documentary directed by Errol Morris. The film dramatically re-enacted the crime scene and investigation of a police officer’s murder in Dallas. The new parody version, which takes place in a prison cell, has a running time of 80-seconds, was also produced by McKinny Silver and also was directed by Kevin Donovan of Form.
