Synopsis
Clea needs to learn to love whiskey. Right now. She's trying to survive an evening in Hunny and Carl land.
Sure Clea thought staying with them was a great idea; she and her boyfriend would save money on their road
trip and she'd get to know his oldest and dearest friends. But, her boyfriend isn't even noticing that Hunny
and Carl are making out at the kitchen table. Deeply. Again. And since when does he think German is an aphrodisiac?
How can Clea tell him about the freezer and the fur filled Ziplocs? Hide. Hide in the sleeping bag. But even there
she can't escape because she can't help wondering if maybe Hunny was right. Maybe the penis she knows is underdressed.

Director's Bio
Two formative experiences got Kelilyn Mohr McKeever writing screenplays; she was referred to as "tits"
while working as a production assistant and she was asked at two different auditions if she'd be comfortable with a
simulated fellatio scene. Yowzer. The comedy, Greyhounds, is her first short film. Currently she's working on Exit
the Playroom, a comedic series for the web. She has written several feature length screenplays including The Wee Hours,
about a woman who becomes a menopausal insomniac in suburbia. A native of the Bay Area, Kelilyn resides in San Francisco.

Director of Photography's Bio
Director of Photography K.C. Smith has been praised by Variety for his, "clever, visual interpretation" and
the "cool look" he created for J.P. Allen's feature film, Coffee and Language. Smith's work on this film
was nominated for best cinematography at the 2003 Hamptons International Film Festival. Amongst his other lenser
credits are J.P. Allen's Gambling, and John Dilley's Sundance crowd pleaser, Little Failures. Revolution Summer, a
feature Smith shot in collaboration with Christian Bruno, and Greyhounds will both screen at the 2007 San Francisco
International Film Festival. In his spare time Mr. Smith toils on his own project, Bad Teeth Blues, which is expected
to be completed by the fall of 2007.

We're not usually like this.

Director's Statement
Greyhounds began when I read an article describing the hobbies of craftsy couples who like to stay stimulated. I
wondered what an evening with one of these couples would be like. It seemed like a situation full of funny and awkward possibilities, particularly if the couple wanted to talk about their hobbies and share their crafts. The day the set was fully dressed I realized Hunny and Carl's apartment had really become another character. That dog painting - majestic in its defiance of physics with
wind-blown fur next to stick-straight grass – still lingers in my dreams.
