This came out in Today's Orlando Weekly regarding our participation in The Orlando Film Festival:

Leading off the Orlando Film Festival with a lighthearted step, this charming comedy by local indie filmmakers Caius Productions reimagines the cultural juggernaut of karaoke as born in an "Orlampa" bar called Lil's, with the bar's transvestite co-owner (a wonderfully droll performance by Ron Zarr) as its Prometheus. In the course of one night, the longtime reigning "King," Eddie Bowman (Ken Weiler), is pushed into the dilemma of deciding between the comfort and small-time glory of his karaoke crown or his ultimatum-dishing girlfriend. Stocked liberally with a string of campy antiheroes, the modest but well-executed film revels in the kitsch of karaoke as well as the hodgepodge of the Central Florida setting (Lil's is a karaoke bar, strip club and pool hall) without being patronizing. The possibility that Eddie's successor could be his lifelong nemesis, a recent star of a show called American Icon, reinforces this cult flick as a knowing, winking mirror of popular culture. (NR)
