monterey media "summons the laughter" with Gamers

January 18, 2008 Thousand Oaks, CA- Put down your 20-sided die, vanquish your cloak and get ready to laugh mercilessly...monterey media is thrilled to announce the acquisition of writer/director Chris Folino's sidesplitting funny Gamers.

Unrated, Uncensored and Unapologetic

Gamers is a comedy about the lives of four slackers (and one obsessive interloper) living at home -”with my parents... it’s just temporary... ‘til they die”-, working in the real world but playing in a fantasy world. Obsessed with a role playing game called Demons, Nymphs and Dragons these “gamers” are the subject of this hilarious comedy which chronicles their journey to make it through their horrendous lives while attempting to break the world record for role playing for over 74,558 hours. The sacrifice, the obsession, the blind dedication…this is their true story.
