BOOK TRAILER, "Chumpy Walnut Conquers the World"

The third in the trilogy and once again a completely unique entry, "Chumpy Walnut Conquers" finds the diminutive character crossing from his pulp-cartoonish dimension to ours as he embarks on a decades-long quest to find his creator, bouncing around places and eras in the author's life as he transforms into various alternate forms. Along the twisted path, he encounters various people who played important roles in his creator's life. It's like a condensed version of the author's memoir from his creation's POV, a wild, ribald journey of self-discovery for both.

“I feel like my whole life is just one big illusion created by a perverted despot with an eye for beauty but a sick sense of humor.”
“So do I. You get that from me.”

Scenes from the 2007 indie film "Go Together," the final entry in director Rob Nilsson’s interconnected "9@Nite" series, several of which starred my father Robert Viharo in a recurring role, and once of which starred my brilliant wife Monica Cortes Viharo ("Scheme C6," 2001) who reprises her role as Yve in this film too. Part of it was shot at the Parkway in Oakland when I was hosting a Thrillville Theater show featuring The Devil-Ettes. Separately we shot isolated intro inserts with "Will the Thrill" hosting a p**n premiere! Talk about typecasting. Mysteriously, in addition to Yve, Monica also appears briefly in this film as another character, "The Tiki Goddess" onstage, but with no dialogue. The other cool part is that the late cult movie actor David Hess ("Last House on the Left") was in the Parkway alley, playing a bum. They filmed my usual intro dancing with Monica to the official "Thrillville" theme, too. The B&W gives it a nice noir quality.
