The film “A Film by Roland Wehap” is a work by the filmmaker of the same name, Roland Wehap, who, as a “one-man show filmmaker,” challenges the concept itself by embarking on an extraordinary experiment: Is it possible to produce a short film with almost no budget entirely on your own?

Review by Andie Kae:

Yep… that’s the title. A Film by Roland Wehap. This comedic 29 minute short is a very meta and tongue in cheek film about making a film starring ( you guessed it ) Roland Wehap. It breaks the fourth wall in a Ferris Bueller-esque kind of way while dazzling you with its gorgeous cinematography. The creativity behind this comes from Roland Wehap, as well as the cinematography. Roland portrays himself in the film along with an array of supporting characters using A.I. to slightly alter his appearance, which was very clever.

For me, one of the funniest and creative genius ideas was the voice over for the film, which was the only role not done by Roland or A.I. Howard Nightingall provided the voice for this film and his pacing, comedic timing and emotion was absolute perfection. It was ingenious letting Howard be Roland’s voice during the film and just having Roland lip sync. Very funny and wonderfully executed by them both.

So much of the film is a playful teasing about how hard it is to make a film, and Roland ( and Howard ) isn’t wrong. Any filmmaker would relate to the struggles within this film and chuckle at the way they
are portrayed. A Film by Roland Wehap ( and Howard ) is a fun comedy that anyone can enjoy
