Presented by Keylight with director Robby Rackleff here in person! 

In a secret government facility, a team of scientists have done impossible, indescribable things. Genetic mutations, inter-dimensional experiments: nasty top secret stuff. They played GOD. And like GOD they are all probably dead. The filmmakers only had $45,000 to make this movie and they ran out of that money almost immediately so a lot of that stuff is just implied through dialogue. The dancing isn’t that crazy. 

Two of the brains behind Wham City Comedy have made their first theatrical feature. What did you think it was going to be, normal? The much-anticipated film from the team of Robby Rackleff and Alan Resnick (Unedited Footage of a Bear and This House Has People in It) has an absolutely stacked cast including luminaries of the alt-comedy scene and many past, present, and most likely future Baltimoreans: Robby Rackleff, Megan Koester, Sheila Mears, Jamel Johnson, Annie Donley, Stavros Halkias, Sarah Sherman, Allen Cordell, Adam Endres, Rachel Kaly, Conner O’Malley, and Nate Varrone. 

Like their work for Adult Swim, Rackleff and Resnick’s film disorients the viewer in the best possible way. Dance Freak teleports us back to childhood sleepovers with friends, staying up way too late watching something warped, forbidden, and dangerously funny long after all the boring adults have retreated upstairs to bed. 

Directed by Alan Resnick, Robby Rackleff
