Released online for the first time, Goodbye To Muffy is an original family-comedy short film produced by Alexander Films.

What are Mom and Dad to do when the newest member of their family ends up on the road? Pictures anyone? Mixing pets, kids, parents, and humor, Goodbye To Muffy reaches into every family’s hard choices for nuggets of tenderness and laughter.

The cast and crew gave their time to see this project come to life because they believed in the script and it’s potential to reach a large audience hungry for family programming. While other ‘family’ comedies often rely on a lot of sexual innuendo and word play to draw low brow chuckles, Goodbye To Muffy looks at family comedy from the root – family. You don’t have a go very far to find something amusing; often it simply takes twisting a “based on actual events” story to bring out the outrageous comedy.

Goodbye To Muffy was filmed over 4 days in November 2009, with a cast of 8 and crew of 16. Our location was the West Manor, located in Forest, Virginia. We used an HVX200 with a Letus35 Ex depth of field adapter and Pentax K-mount lenses. Audio was captured using a field mixer and piped into the camera. We used a 3-ton lighting and grip package. Cat prop designed by Toby Sells, of Toby Sells Creature Makeup Effects Shop. Total budget was around$5400.
