Written as a subtle spoof of early 90s indy story lines, Karma Got Friendly takes off and goes somewhere different.  An 87 minute moody comedy shot on B&W DV and color 16mm, this film  is the story of two friends, Joe and Friendly and the night Friendly realized that he had to change his name. 

 Joe has always had a knack for finding the worst in himself.  After meeting Friendly, Joe was still prone to trouble, but Friendly has been Joe”s skeleton key to good fortune.  Until now . . . Friendly has realized that he”s the doormat in a codependent friendship.  

The story follows Friendly and Joe as Friendly”s mind starts to unravel, but is he going crazy or getting smart. 

Shot in Portland and Zig Zag, Oregon

Using newsreel footage, television kinescopes and out takes from
political spots Nixon made as a presidential candidate in 1968, filmmaker Emile De Antonio creates a comic yet scathing portrait of the former President in this political satire. It”s all here, including scenes of Nixon advocatine the death penalty for drug peddlers, suggestions of using nuclear weapons in Indochina, and even rare glimpses of the President watching go-go dancers in the White House. De Antonio landed on Nixon”s infamous “enemy list” because of the derisive wisdom he supplied about one of America”s most paranoid and pilloried politicians.

“I didn”t make this film to elect Democrats, I made it to reveal the
terrible comic theatre that is American Politics.” 

1971 B/W 90mins.
