If you’re a fan of comedy series on the internet, then chances are you’ve heard of the Chicago-based group, The Wilton Way.
The Pizza Film Fest is proud to announce that one of its cast members, Matthew Riggs, will be joining us on the night of the festival with his short film called Pizza Anytime?.
“The movie I made is a look at advertising of a pizza-related product. It takes a look straight in the face of corporate America and then quickly looks away,” Riggs said of his film.
As with many filmmakers before him, Riggs is hoping to make a statement with his newest project.
“I could only hope that through my film, I make people wonder, I make people think and I make people a little hungry,” he said.
Can’t wait to see the film? Come out to The Hungry Brain on November 16th!
In the meantime, check out Riggs’ other projects at www.videobash.com/profile/TheWiltonWay.
Pizza Anytime will premiere at The Pizza Film Festival, November 16th.
