About the Film
The Untitled Ratamacue Project is a comedy short film with a warm, feel-good energy — a working class guy trying to do something nice for his girlfriend, a pop star at the height of her fame, and the chaos that unfolds when their worlds collide. No experience is necessary, and the project will be screened publicly after completion alongside other Ratamacue productions. If you’ve been building your comedic instincts in our Albuquerque acting classes, this is a great opportunity to put them on screen.
