about the Mann Project
Somewhere between Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton, Mann is the epitome of the common man struggling to do that which is set out before him. Whether he is doing the impossible, or trying impossibly to just do something, Mann gets what’s coming to him.

Re: [video] MANN in DRIVING

This is a fun short. Constructivly, i think it should be cut down.

Very nice though! Fun.
 
Re: [video] MANN in DRIVING

Sonnyboo- Dude that was funny but I agree with DVmaker, cut it down a bit. It was kind of long. Other than that it was funny made me laugh. you should do a woman in driving version, then maybe a child in driving. Ight gangster! Keep up it.
 
Re: [video] MANN in DRIVING

Jon Osbeck is the editor (plus writer, director, star) and this is his vision, length & all. IT plays very very well at live screenings.
 
Re: [video] MANN in DRIVING

Hello, all. Thanks for all of your comments, and thanks to Sonnyboo for the posting.

FYI - original edit had many more gags and was much (excruiciatingly) longer.

Re: [video] MANN in DRIVING

definitely cut this down. I understand if it used to be longer. But something like this should not be over three minutes long (aobut the length of an average scene)

I was falling asleep until I got the idea to get on DVXUser. This flick woke me up ;D
 
Re: [video] MANN in DRIVING

That was really funny. I'm trying to get my 5 year old and 8 year daughters to bed and they heard the movie playing and ran over. They loved both Mann in Driving and Mann in the Slip. Quote from the 5 year old, "I love these kinds of movies! I'm looking forward to Mann in Therapy. What's therapy?"

MANN IN THERAPY is a short about MANN in physical therapy.

Coming Soon!

I am very happy to hear your kids like MANN. My 5 nephews & neice think it's great too. Kudos to Jon Osbeck & his creation called MANN!
 
Re: [video] MANN in DRIVING

Hmm... I'm in the minority here because most people have found this very funny, so I kind of feel bad telling you I had zero belly laughs, and barely cracked a smile. I think most people have hit upon the length and it's kind of a one note opera. You should probably discount my opinion totally and leave it as is, given the rest of the feedback, but I would suggest going a little more Benny Hillesque with it and do more speed ups, this would decrease the length and make the little voice pitch up giving it a little more variation to the piece. Just my two cents worth.
