The Last Twinkie

What started out as a humorous premise for a high school film festival contest, has surprisingly become a reality just a few short months after the film's award winning debut. Well, maybe not exactly surprising; management of Hostess Brands has been shaky for much of the last decade. Still, who would have ever thought that Twinkies would become extinct? We often joked as kids that anyone building a bomb shelter during the Cold War Era should load up on Twinkies because they have a shelf life of forever, duh!

Anyway, rather than carry on about the downfall of an iconic brand, it would be more fun to share this short film with you produced and directed by my boys... okay, I'm biased, but it did win first place! Be sure to click on the settings gear icon and select 720p or the highest resolution you can to best appreciate the cinematography.

Warning: this film was produced and directed by teenage boys who think shoot 'em ups are just plain fun. If you don't care for the dark comedy genre, this film may not be for you!
