“Five childhood friends reunite for the first time after the death of their comrade Pedro, an unconditional fan of Shrek. An important mission is entrusted to them: to honor the memory of the deceased by scattering his ashes at Shrekfest, a festival in honor of the green ogre in Wisconsin, United States.” Here is the absurd pitch of Shrek Life, the future feature film by Grabuge, a collective of filmmakers adept at nimp and absolute nonsense. Among their main feats of arms: a short film on the Cauet Burger or a post-modern tale about a strange son who can only say “dad” and only eats Cacoulac. After ten years of existence on the Internet, they think bigger and embark on the production of their first feature, a mockumentary on Shrekfest, a gathering of fans of the very real green ogre which is held every year not far from Chicago. Xavier Étienne (the sociopath), Martin Grouten (the unconditional fan of Asterix), Julien Kroustos (the lost heir), Jacques “Jaco Bimbimbap” Delarue (the retarded teenager) and Djeustine Smith (the mythomaniac hippie) will therefore s embark on a crazy road trip in the heart of Wisconsin. To realize their American dream, they need to collect 10,000 euros. So if you want this even better buddy movie on psychotropics than those of the Farrelly brothers to see the light of day, this is the kichta. Depending on your generosity, you may receive an autographed poster, a song composed in your honor or even a short film about your life made in Mayhem.
