“Wasted Mayor”

Local film maker Tommy Avallone who helmed local movies “Wasted Apples” and “Small Kid Tank Top” which played locally in theaters during midnight showings is out for a new career. He is running for mayor of Haddon Heights.

Believe it or not he did everything right and his on the ticket for this fall’s election. He even staged a press conference that the Courier-Post came out to cover when he announced he running for mayor. When asked about the other opponents he said he didn’t know anything about them, but they were going to have know about him. He thinks he can get the youth vote and win the election.

This summer him and his buddies are getting together film “Here’s to Yesterday” due to premier in December at the Cinemark like the pervious two films. There films barely corrhent and filled with inside jokes seem quite popular in this area. Wasted Apples is even available on VHS at Tunes in Voorhees. I thought “Wasted Apples” had some funny parts but wasn’t all that good a film, and oddly enough production values and direction back stepped for last year’s follow up “Small Kid Tank Top” which bordered on the unwatchable. Avallone plans to make a documentary about his run for mayor which could easily be his best work if its played out right.

If this dude wins the election, I am moving to Haddon Heights mark my words!
