Marshmellow Chef is more than FLUFF
If you want to see a short film that will stoke your nostalgia for The Little Rascals and nearly every Buster Keaton movie, you must see THE MARSHMELLOW CHEF. Writer/Director Terry Keefe made this as part of his 480 thesis at USC film school in 1990. I found myself laughing and waxing silent film nostalgia the entire way through. How does a movie like this not jumpstart a career is anyones guess, though I see Mr. Keefe's resume has included a slate of respectable and compelling indie films, so clearly his talent has not gone unnoticed. My favorite part of the short film is when the Marshmellow chef finds that his recipe for marshmellows has been pilfered. The tragic-comedy of this moment reminds me of Chaplin in the Gold Rush. Miss this and you are not the cineaste you think you are.
