Crime Wave

By John Paizs | 01:20:40 | Comedy, Narrative-Fiction | 01/09/1985

Sitcom noir, or maybe Tex Avery splatter. Steven desperately wants to be a "colour crime movie writer", but he has trouble with plots until an adoring fan befriends him. Through a series of adventures, and the evil Dr. Jolly, he finds the strength to go on.

Nine to Five Crack, The

By John Paizs | 00:03:50 | Animation | 01/01/1975

The animated story of a timid and troubled clerk. Driven over the edge by mounting pressures he lashes out by grabbing an axe and reaping his revenge. A John Paizs classic.

Dreamer, The

By John Paizs | 00:02:32 | Animation | 01/01/1976

The dreams of a frightened baby elephant, animated in the old Disney style, with the music of the Electric Light Orchestra.

International Style, The

By John Paizs | 00:37:38 | Comedy, Narrative-Fiction | 1/1/1984

An amusing melange of 60's spy thrillers and other classics. Super secret agent Nick attempts to liberate a top secret microchip from the clutches of multimillionaire Quinton Frost. Paizs pokes fun at the jet set, the Cold War and Jean-Paul Sartre.

Oak, Ivy and Other Dead Elms

By John Paizs | 00:33:25 | Comedy, Narrative-Fiction | 1/1/1982

Nick, the silent hero, sets off for college where he becomes involved in an attempt to restore the old campus hangout and in a dirty and hard-fought student election. The film weaves the tone of 40s college movies with a clever spoof of current electoral trends, suggesting how easily old fashioned ethics turn into fascism.

Springtime in Greenland

By John Paizs | 00:24:24 | Comedy, Narrative-Fiction | 1/1/1981

A lifetime of suburbia in a half hour, Springtime in Greenland uses 50s cinematic conventions to tell a story about the sophomoric inhabitants of a fictional utopia. Meet Nick. Hes silent, aloof and straining against suburban values.

Obsession of Billy Botski, The

By John Paizs | 00:25:21 | Comedy, Narrative-Fiction | 1/1/1980

A young man meets his obsession, a ghostly 60's Playboy-bunny styled "Connie", and is never the same!

Crime Wave

By John Paizs | 01:20:40 | Comedy, Narrative-Fiction | 1/9/1985

Sitcom noir, or maybe Tex Avery splatter. Steven desperately wants to be a "colour crime movie writer", but he has trouble with plots until an adoring fan befriends him. Through a series of adventures, and the evil Dr. Jolly, he finds the strength to go on.

Ed Zorax of the Future City

By John Paizs | 00:32:00 | Comedy, Narrative-Fiction | 1/1/1979

Ho Down

By John Paizs | 00:02:04 | Animation | 1/1/1976

An enjoyable animated film done by drawing directly on the film in the tradition of Norman McLaren. Two circles, one male and one female, bounce, spin and stretch to lively music.
