Viktor Devonne presents PASSION PROJECT: Who Done It, the Clue Documentary feat. Jeff C. Smith 12/06/2022

Viktor Devonne presents PASSION PROJECT: Who Done It, the Clue Documentary feat. Jeff C. Smith Viktor Devonne presents: PASSION PROJECT, a series devoted to artists and creators behind really neat stuff. The premiere episode is WHO DONE IT? THE CLUE DOCUMENTARY, with the director/editor/guide Jeff C. Smith, who began his journey in 2017. The final product is a full length documentary now in select theaters, and on its way to VOD. With behind-the-scenes gab from the folks behind the cult classic Clue (Jonathan Lynn! Lesley Ann Warren! Michael McKean!) including extensive conversations on the almost-was (Carrie Fisher as Miss Scarlet? That elusive 4th ending?), loving tribute to the energy of the people who made it happen (the costumes! the sets! the script!), and grateful acknowledgement of the fans who keep the mayhem going, this is the thus-only definitive documentation of the history of the quinessential board game murder mystery comedy. Jeff talks about how the idea formulated, how he got in contact with comedy legends to be on camera, who declined and how nicely, and the road to the movie screen, where it recently showed on both coasts and is now emerging all over. "It’s not just a movie based on a board game …anymore." Video version of this conversation is available here: Support the documentary by visiting and following all the socials: - - - AND get a listen at the brand new Clue: the Movie Podcast, where Jeff and cohost Brad Gilmore watch and discuss the movie by the minute: - For more on WEBurlesque Podcast Network, visit weburlesquepodcast.com and @weburlesque @viktordevonne everywhere Passion Project is a production by WEBurlesque Podcast Network and Viktor Devonne; all original material property to Viktor Devonne; all non-original material property to those copyright holders.

Her skills as a clown, sketch, and physical comedian have enabled her to create memorable characters for ambient performances in burlesque, cabaret, and as a go go dancer. Before she came to new York city, she was a stripper in Missula in 2012. This is her story. b) Haunted Hallway in Bosnia JZ Bich says they erupted from the malting Balkans and was washed on the shores of the New York City to become one of its night creatures. They have been performing in NYC for over a decade, as well as nationally and internationally. For 11 years, jz was a producer and a host of HyperGender Caburlesque the influential monthly, post neo burlesque show. While living in Bosnia in the mid-90s, they had an experience. c) The Rotting Hand Dewie Decimator is an entertainer currently living in Massachusetts.
