VANCOUVER - RUGGED RICH AND THE ONA ONA has partnered with the distributor BIG FILM SHORTS to ensure worldwide distribution of the film. A winner of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's prestigious Signature Shorts competition, RUGGED RICH AND THE ONA ONA follows the misadventures of Rich (Peter Kelamis), a soft urbanite, who will go to any lengths to impress his new nature-jock girlfriend Jane (Stacy Grant) - even if that means having to confront a really weird tropical fish. Directed by Eric T. Finkel, written by Dave Taylor, and produced by Kevin Eastwood and Jason James, RUGGED RICH has received wide acclaim from Eric T. Finkel, Dave Taylor, Kevin Eastwood and Jason James. "When he finished writing, Dave yelled 'F&*%ing
aye this is a great script,'" says Finkel. "He's right.
This is easily the best film ever about panic attacks, one-armed
dudes and tropical fish." BIG FILM SHORTS (www.bigfilmshorts.com) is a distribution company specializing in short films, as well as other media and formats. The company's core business revolves around its extensive film library, which contains shorts in a variety of genres, lengths, formats and national origins, including many festival favorites and award winners. "Finding films of this quality," says David Russell, BIG FILM SHORTS' president, "and getting them seen in the worldwide marketplace is why we exist. It will be a pleasure to be part of that process for the RUGGED RICH team." Finkel adds, "We are thrilled to be working with such a well respected and successful distributor. All of us are excited about the new possibilities." Look for RUGGED RICH at a theater, airplane
