In the quirky, retro film short, "The Goodnight Show," teenage virgin, Sam, knows exactly how he wants to spend his last moments. He wants to drink the mature waters from the fountain of life. So, armed with a bottle of his mother's cooking wine, he sets off into the night. The next fifteen minutes are as eccentric as the film's unique cinematographic hybrid of genres. The film was written, shot and edited by budding cinematographer and Austin native, Charlie Schwan. After personally inviting Al and Christian Staehely to submit a handful of unreleased songs, Schwan was so impressed that he licensed Staehely's material for the entire soundtrack. Currently, the short is the featured film on Omeleto's homepage and is additionally available on Vimeo and YouTube."
