In honor of its hometown premiere, the filmmakers of Prom Date (ie. me and director Poull Brien) put together what can plausibly be argued as the most overly elaborate event for a short film ever. We called it The Best Prom Ever!

A couple celebrates the special night on the Prom Date photo stage.

The announcement of the Prom King - Magnolia’s own Ben Stambler!

Notorius party crasher, celebrity chaperone and Prom Date applicant Shaggy steals a peek.

Winner of the best dressed prize is too drunk to wave at his fans without assistance.

She missed the rain down in Africa.

Hippie’s had proms too.

What’s a prom without balloons and streamers?

These ladies got caught in the Prom Date spirit.

People rolled out in style trying to win the best dressed award.

Unfortunately she didn’t actually win Prom Queen.

Yes, totally prom date indeed.

1. A short documentary about an 18 year old girl searching for her prom date on the internet.
2. A short documentary about what the barbie doll shows about Jewish culture and identity.
3. A short documentary about a woman’s fight with breast cancer.
4. A short documentary about an US Soldier’s experience in Iraq.
5. A short documentary about the Israel/Palestine conflict.
6. A short documentary about child soldiers and refugee camps in Uganda.

I will pamper and $poil you nd treat you like a princess. Lets met for a drink at the Four Seasons in NYC, if either is uncomfortable then we part no hard feelings. But if their is chemistry then I like to see you once a week and we finalize our arrangement Please send photos and phone and the best time to call and we can set this up ASAP. Please understand that we will always have safe sex and no drama and no strings. No one ever has to know about this we will be very discrete. Email me and lets talk about it first ok.
