The Bay Area has its fair share of web celebrities, but sometimes something surfaces that stands out for its awesomeness. After both VH1’s Web Junk and BoingBoing featured this clip, we knew it was time interview local film maker Tyrone Davies. People have tried to explain what happened in terms of nervousness, a hangover, and a truly amazing prank (SFist knows the truth, but we’re not telling). If the low quality clip here doesn’t do it for you, check out the Free Form Film Festival next time it’s playing in SF. Oh, and don’t worry, Tyrone doesn’t make a habit of that kind of thing—he didn’t even gag while we were interviewing him.
BoingBoing and VH1 have featured your video: where will it pop up next?
Who knows. I never would have thought it would go this far. I'm still pretty perplexed about the whole thing
What details about that blue vomit can you reveal?
A lot of people think it looks white. If you see the original video (uncompressed) it looks blue. Still, some who saw the original broadcast have told me that it looked green. I was there though, and it was blue.
Prank or reality television?
huh?
Tell us about your film festival:
The Free Form Film Festival is a touring exhibition. We show films of all genres in big cities and small town alike, around North America. Eventually we'll go abroad. We have leads on Russia, England, Brazil, and Peru. It'll be a while though. Basically we want to re-examine the way people see films, and then re-examine it again. We never want to do any one thing for too long, but however we do things, you can count on us always being around. So far we have done short film programs, features, live video mixes, collaborations with bands and other live performers. We do shows at Theatres, art spaces, clubs, universities, anything. We even did a show at a swimming pool a while back. Right now we are looking to branch out to DVD and television-based distribution. You can see a couple films right now at freeformfilm.org. We are always seeking submissions and always digging up our sleeves for a new kind of show.
When will it be in SF next?
Maybe in six months. Maybe longer. We will always do shows in SF, though. We aren't doing many shows right now. We are busy working on some films of our own and trying to turn the FFFF into a nonprofit.
