"50"

'50' the movie is a short comedy film disguised as a movie trailer for a horror film entitled '50.' The movie '50' is about a middle-aged man who has not yet accepted the fact that he is turning 50 years old. This mock movie trailer reveals supposed snippets from the film which show our lead character in different situations as he faces the stark realization of what it means to get older.

"Middle-Aged Angst + Cheap Gags"
This film was created strictly for a one-time showing to guests of the director's 50th birthday party. It was written, shot & edited in the two weeks prior to the party. For whatever reasons, the film was such a big hit that everyone at the party demanded their own copy.
