The Smiling Man (PLAYDATE MOVIES)

"The Smiling Man" by KELP Entertainment
RUNTIME: 35 Minutes
Rated PG for Mild Language

Based on the short story written by Keoni Chavez, originally published in the Nick Chambers anthology Fog City Nocturne, The Smiling Man pays loving homage to the classic detective films of the forties, while adding a decidedly post-modern slant.

Directed and Produced by the legendary BJ West of the 90's Atari hay day, a well published author and creator of the infamous Lost Video Game for the Atari Jaguar, (BLACK ICE/White Noise), "The Smiling Man" dives deep into the film noir genre with the curious case of Nick Chambers as he tries to solve the mystery of "THE SMILING MAN".
