And then God said, let there be farts! And thus the universe was born. This hilarious 2-minute short film is now online for everyone to enjoy. Godfart is the bonkers creation of comedy filmmaker Michael Langan. He’s be whipping up films, commercials, music videos and more but this takes the cake. From the universe of Doxology comes Godfart, the epic creation myth that traces the origins of everything to God’s quest for breakfast. Russel Hodgkinson stars as God – before he could make the universe, he needed something to eat first. And the rest is history… Literally. Even though this may seem like a simple concept to pull off, it’s not as easy as it looks. To find the right guy for the role of God, to make it all seem plausible and hilarious, and to bring it together with that big bang finale – as the Italians say, that’s amore. Plug your nose & enjoy.
