About
Written by writer/director Jeff Lycett, "Denim" is a short comedy making its way through the festival circuit!
SYNOPSIS
Denim is the hilarious story of a date gone wrong, as discussed in a pub by drinking buddies Jim (PJ DeBoy) and Phil (Rob Devaney). In a series of flashbacks, Jim finds himself in over his head while on a date with the "soap opera hot" Alice (Sarah Ireland). In order to stay afloat, Jim exploits the one common link between them, Bruce Springsteen. His plan works, but he has no idea the price he'll have to pay!
The film includes an amazing cast: PJ DeBoy from John Cameron Mitchell’s “Shortbus,” Rob Devaney, who appeared in the Broadway production of “Spring Awakening” and most recently starred in the film "Redacted" and Sarah Ireland, who has appeared on such shows as “The Sopranos” and “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.”
