Holy DNA: "Evolution: The Musical" traces its genes to San Francisco. (Photo courtesy SFFS)
May 6 - 12
"You can think of it as The Sound of Music meets Quest for Fire, or Jesus Christ Superstar rocks Land of the Lost," writes theater and film critic Robert Avila in a San Francisco International Film Festival preview article for SF360.org. "However you slice it, Evolution: the Musical! amounts to some pungent cross-breeding." It is, he says, "the most ambitious project to date from Bay Area comedians, impresarios and filmmakers Andrew Bancroft and Kenny Taylor, a.k.a. Illbilly Productions, the strikingly contemporary story of a sort of missing-link Romeo (Bancroft, decked out in a few fig-leafs worth of fur and underbrush) and his pent-up, tightly bonneted Juliet (Tonya Glanz, cannily evoking the fervid Amish nymphet)." Enjoy the work of local comedic talent—including the lion’s share of the sketch troupe Killing My Lobster—at the San Francisco International Film Festival, in a combination screening and live performance at Mezzanine for SF360 Film+Club tonight, May 6. And after that? Only two more shopping days left before the end of SFIFF51.
