Ahamed Weinberg Releases Short Film ‘Rasberries’

“Here is a short film I made with some of my best friends last year called Rasberries.

I saw Joe Marrese tell two jokes at an open mic, one about literally being batman and one about raspberries. They were so funny that I spent the next few months making this short based on his hilarious absurdity and unique demeanor.

Besides being one of the funniest comedians in LA, Joe is an extremely gifted actor. Working with him was just so easy and fun, until we were editing. Thirteen cuts later he was happy, and so were my co-producers (Pedro Salinas, Kyle Mizono and Bryan Wolfson), and here it is. I love it.

Huge THANK YOU to everyone who acted and worked in it. Everyone involved sacrificed their valuable time for our bizarre vision, and it made me realize how truly lucky I am to know so many brilliant people. Here are just a few of them:
