The debut feature by the filmmakers known as Sweaty Robot is a playful yet poignant labor of love that offers a fresh take on friendship, loyalty, and bushy mustaches.
Harris Malden fakes his facial hair, and as far as he's concerned, nobody can tell. No one in the neighborhood, not even his best friend Paul or his brother Melvin, has the heart to tell Harris how ridiculous he looks with the thick, black lie about his lip. Everything is fine in Harris' world – until Paul brings an outsider to his 25th birthday party who immediately calls out Harris' hairy imposter, leaving the young man and his friends to deal with the fallout of his open secret. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRIS MALDEN creates a quirky world that borders on dramatic but always remains human and absurd – as people and relationships tend to be. The funny and engaging banter reveals everyone's inner strengths and weaknesses but enlightenment bears an emotional burden for everyone. The Sweaty Robot team displays impressive comedic timing that could only come from a group familiar with each other and innately aware of how to make people laugh, and if the moment is right...maybe even cry.

Everyone has their security blanket and for Harris Malden, a moustache drawn on with eyeliner is his. After suffering a traumatic event as a child, Harris' family, friends, and community pay no attention to the garish monstrosity perched upon his upper lip. Coming to terms with self acceptance and dealing with the past are humorously displayed in this light hearted movie. This movie is what the festival is about. Four stars only because some of the other storylines within the movie really don't add to the whole and might have been better without.
