World-famous and former KBEST 95 morning man, Chuck Buell flix some news:

Chuck writes, “I am pleased, and honored, to share with you that a film in which I was asked to provide a movie trailer type voice throughout and within the film itself has been selected to be shown at this year’s prestigious “2008 Cannes Film Festival” in France!”

The voice-over artist adds, “The film was written and directed by an exciting and promising young San Diego film maker, Michael Gallagher, and is a very creative comedy about U.S. troops searching for a large hidden plug that has been pulled resulting in a slow deflation of the planet Earth! The film is appropriately titled, “Flattest!””

With the film fest in full mode, the big screen feature will run through the 24th at the American Pavilion Short Film Center.

“Now, if you’ll excuse me,” Chuck writes, “I’m going to go have some popcorn!”
