TOWNIES IS A NO-BUDGET SHORT FILM, ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BE A FEATURE FILM.
IN NOVEMBER OF 2008, TOWNIES DIRECTOR MIKE O'DEA WAS SURROUNDED BY STATE
POLICE AFTER FIRING GUNS IN PUBLIC WITHOUT PROPER PERMITS. CITIZENS THOUGHT
IT WAS A REAL SHOOTING AND WENT SCREAMING FOR HELP.

 

MIKE O'DEA SHUT DOWN PRODUCTION AFTER THE GUN FIRING INCIDENT AND CREATED
AN ELABORATE TRAILER IN HOPES TO GET FINANCING AND RESHOOT TOWNIES ENTIRELY.

 

HOLLYWOOD PRODUCER MICHAEL Z. GORDON (NARC) SAW THE TOWNIES TRAILER
ON YOUTUBE AND IMMEDIATELY SIGNED A DEAL WITH O'DEA TO FINANCE TOWNIES.
BUT WHEN BEN AFFLECK ANNOUNCED A SIMILIARLY TITLED MOVIE "THE TOWN"
TO BE SHOT IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AS "TOWNIES," O'DEA WAS FORCED TO CHANGE

TOWNIES WAS ULTIMATELY EDITED INTO A SHORT FILM WHICH DOES
NOT CONTAIN ALL THE SCENES SHOWCASED IN THE MOVIE TRAILER.

WITH HIM TO SHOOT A LOW BUDGET FILM CALLED "BOSTON ROSE." WITH BOSTON ROSE
