Tim and Eric's Awesome Show of Support to Their Sponsors

· Last month, I attended the enjoyably unconventional Nevada City Film Festival, which takes normal film fest tropes and reinvents them for an alternative audience. There's no better example of that than the video below, where fest attendees Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim twist the typical fest interview by vamping wildly for ten solid minutes about the company names on the step-and-repeat behind them (squint, and the clip could have come straight from their cult series Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!).
