Fruit of my Loins - a short film by mango

*Toggle Zoom LH switch Bottom RH Side for clear optimum viewing.

It was back in Spring of 2000, while doing my major project for a Multimedia Diploma, that I incorporated this film into my works.

Inspired by an old clip I saw on TV of Dave Letterman on the Late Late Show where after a commercial break, the camera returns to Dave at his desk eating a hearty meal. He quickly apologizes, stands up and proceeds to pour the entire contents of his plate down the front of his pants.

It was from this that spawned 'Fruit of my Loins' - shot on location right here in sunny Melbourne, Australia which I successfully directed and starred in.

For the record:
The soundtrack used is an extended version I made of Pete & Sheila Escovedo's "Solo Tu"
The spanish mansion style house I was able to get access to, to film this clip, no longer exists
The Porsche 928 was borrowed from a helpful contact and successfully returned without any juice marks
I got all the stains out... eventually
No fruits were actually harmed in the production of this film
And yes, I got my diploma!

Fun Fact: After we shot the strawberries scene, I was walking around for the rest of the day with a toothpick in my undies.

Didn't notice it with all the other stuff being shoved down there... lol

Disgusting, nothing's worse than guys putting food in their pants.

Girls? That's excellent.

your shed is messy, Roo! I don't know what to make of the fruit. I've never had this kind of inclination with fruits... just very large cakes!

See, this is why I'm not a film teacher.

You and fruit seem to have a bizarre relationship. And you have one up on Gallagher, who mashes his fruit, but doesn't have the... er, balls, to stuff them down his pants, and proper, too, with a plate.

A cinematic masterpiece!
