The Aerobitards sweep film festivals around the country! In case you haven’t heard by now, Aerobitards is scientifically proven and designed method of living life at a level never before seen on this planet. The key to the success of this program is in its specially-engineered apparel: The Aerobitard! Welcome to the upper 1% of the upper 1% of the Human Race, where nothing less than all-consuming devotion is tolerated.

 

The Aerobitards are now live on Instagram and Facebook…check us out! Aerobitards was a passion project that our team had been developing for several years. On the surface level, Aerobitards is a parody of a fitness program infomercial. But as you go deeper, you will discover a whole cultish world that lies beneath. Head writer of Aerobitards, David Monster, is an ex-Scientologist. Through his detailed descriptions of his experience in the church, we became very inspired to utilize some of the same intensity and strategies with which this infamous organization operates, to create something completely original.

Yes, And I Do! premiered at the LA Scripted Comedy Festival hosted by iO West in Hollywood, where it won the top prize against many other impressive films. It also went on to screen at the Chicago Comedy Film Festival where the team got to rub shoulders with Jane Lynch after she was honored with a lifetime achievement award. This short piece, poking fun at the comedy improv community, also won “Best Micro Short” at the Austin Short Comedy Film Festival, was honored as a Global Shorts Winner, and had a digital screening at the Fanboy Film Festival. Check out some images from this fun journey below as well as a link to watch the film!
