Burning Annie
Directed by Van Flesher
Written by Zack Ordynans
Produced by Randy Mack
College student Max (Gary Lundy of Donnie Darko) lives and breathes Woody Allen's seminal film, Annie Hall. In fact, Max believes the movie's message underscores the ultimate futility of romance. But just when Max begins to suspect that the movie is ruining his love life, a girl (Sara Downing of TV's "Roswell") who seems to be the modern incarnation of Annie Hall herself turns his world topsy-turvy. Meanwhile Max's friends—including Kim Murphy ("24"), Brian Klugman (Can't Hardly Wait), Jay Paulson (Go), Todd Duffey (Office Space), and Rini Bell (Jarhead, Ghost World)—must confront their own difficulties with the opposite sex.
This dark romantic comedy transcends homage as an original, unflinching, scathingly funny, bittersweet satire of modern love in the media age.

"This anxiously auspicious debut is a pomo romcom for iPodpeople,
a bittersweet riff on the displacement of feeling.
The exceptionally canny script nails how thoroughly
pop culture has colonized our sentiments.
Immensely appealing performances."
- Village Voice

"It all sounds precious, but somehow it doesn't play that way.
Burning Annie is a thoroughly professional comedy,
well paced, attractively photographed and smartly acted."
- New York Times

"A SURPRISING LITTLE CHARMER, overcoming its low-budget origins
with sharp writing and a genuinely sweet sensibility."
- New York magazine

"Strikes so close to home that it's impossible
to think about it in any sort of detached sense.
Succeeds in conjuring the tone and spirit
of 'Annie Hall'-- a remarkable thing, indeed.
BURNING ANNIE MAY BE THE BEST MOVIE
I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR."
- Entertainment Today

"Clearly a labor of love.
The best romantic comedy I've
seen in years. A GREAT FILM."
- MSNBC

"At once touching and funny, but
never cloying or cute-- credit
the deft writing and camera work.
Add an excellent score and
THIS LITTLE FILM COMES UP BIG."
- E. Hampton Independent

"Likable-- tons of 'tude!
SMART-ASS PUNS, WITTY REPARTEE,
sardonic asides, and
SHARP SOCIAL OBSERVATIONS.
Kim Murphy is luminous."
- Daily Variety

"A hilarious homage to Woody Allen.
Lundy has a wiseass, nerdy charisma
and Downing matches him in
smarts and screen presence.
The wisecracking amorous trio could
carry a Hollywood movie..."
- Providence Phoenix

"Compelling... Captures the college experience very well.
Character interactions provide
a host of memorable scenes...
A wonderful film. Recommended."
- The Numbers

"Relentlessly funny from fade to fade,
without a false note between...
Humor that is rooted in honesty.
A riotous, whip-smart film."
- Bangin' Banana
