NAMCAR Night Race
Written and directed by Lance Khazei, NAMCAR Night Race is a comedy depicting a league of adults who compete in an after hours model car racing league. Drivers push the limits of their slot cars, friendships and bitter rivalries as they brave extremely fake conditions and the final frontier in racing, a frontier of plaster, plastic and diecast metal.
Independently produced through Space Age Entertainment, the NAMCAR Night Race short film is an extended first look at a half hour series. A "NASCAR on acid," the film introduces itself as a mock reality competition before giving way to more and more moments of surrealistic comedy.
