Something's Afoot


Documentary, mockumentary -- and now socumentary!  Director Brian T Shirley has invented a new film genre with his amusing Two Go in One Comes Out: A Socumentary. It’s a short film starring Shirley as an investigative journalist trying to solve the missing socks mystery. Who hasn’t wondered what happens to all those socks that seem to disappear so frequently? And that’s probably why this little movie made me chuckle through every scene. Of course, Shirley’s ability as a talented entertainer helps considerably!

Watching this comic gem motivated me to write the following poem.
   

Two go in, only one comes out.

So what’s this film all about?


This socumentary presents

a mystery with fun nonsense.


Missing socks puzzle a worried guy.

to find the answer he must try.


He works hard to solve the case.

He questions subjects face to face.


Cleverly made and funny too,

this film is one that you should view!
