Crazy Monkey /straight out of Benoni

English/Afrikaans 52mins South Africa 2005
Directed by Trevor Clarence
If you haven't heard of Crazy Monkey - where have you been?! South Africa's most advertised film ever, this full length feature that follows the exploits and misadventures of Brendan and Gavin is an extension of the cult team's madcap MTV inserts.

Brendan and Gavin are small-town Benoni friends they are comfortable with the fame and international adulation that they have not yet achieved. Their life appears on track , they play in a band, review book reviews, and have jobs in advertising. Then, the day before their eagerly awaited ten-year school reunion, they loose their jobs.

Now the pressure is on to achieve overnight success , sign their band to a label, be cast in an American movie, woo a starlet, and get their photos in a newspaper and nothing can stop them ... except maybe themselves.
