Trivia:
Shortly before the shoot of the musical number, two actors suffered leg injuries. Director Allan Piper re-choreographed the dance, putting all of the actors on crutches. moreQuotes:
Bob: They're hit men, Zach! They shoot people in their apartment.Zach: If they were hit men, they wouldn't shoot people in their own apartment. That's got to be one of the last professions that still makes housecalls.

Witness, please, the recent witless re-make of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". Sure, money helps- it usually does- but at the end of the day, comedy is hard work.
In "Starving Artists" it's hard work that pays off. Low budget? Weak technical support? No-name cast? So what- it's a damned good film, funny as hell, and well produced given the obvious limitations.
Kudos, applause, and congratulations. If you get the chance, see it. Someday, somhow, you'll wish you had!
