At the start of last year, a teaser appeared online for a short film called Hey Charlie, directed by Shaun Irons and starring our Charlie. Apparently it played at the New York Indie Theatre Film Festival at the start of last year, and... that's about all I know. Google tells me nothing useful.

Anybody have more info? A link to the film? Review? Something?

BCKster Tyler emailed me about it, and it's funny because I was thinking about it just a few days ago. The Dublin podcast reminded me of the film when Charlie mentioned starring in his own home-made short films as a kid. Trailer below, plot under that.

"Hey Charlie" is a short hallucinatory film featuring renowned screenwriter and director Charlie Kaufman. Nearing the end of his stay at an artists' retreat, Charlie’s daily ritual walk in the woods turns into an ordeal of repetition and delusion. These interruptions - either real or imagined - break into his consciousness, causing anxiety and panic as he contemplates how much (or little) he has accomplished during his time at the Colony.
