Big news! Fantasy A Gets a Mattress has been named to The Popcorn List 2025 — a curated roundup of the most beloved still-undistributed indie films on the festival circuit, as recommended by top programmers from across the country.

We’re beyond honored to be featured alongside such bold, visionary work—films that are living proof the indie scene is thriving. Huge thanks to Barack Epstein—Co-Founder of the Oak Cliff Film Festival— for nominating our film, to all who continue to believe in our film, and to the folks at The Popcorn List for this spotlight.

SOLD OUT! Fantasy A Gets a Mattress SOLD OUT at SIFF Uptown last Friday night! Movies, magazines, Bigfoot, and inflatable balloon people! We had it all!

Fans were greeted by an army of Dotz (courtesy of our co-presenters, the fabulous Dotz Show) who then entertained the crowd with not one, but two musical performances: first a romantic ode to Fantasy A sung by the elegant and lovely Yellow Dot, then “Seatown Love” performed by Fantasy A himself—The Dotz, Bigfoot, and Mantis Man bouncin’ up a storm as back-up dancers.

While deep in pre-production on our next feature, CRYSTAL BALL!, the Dr. Clean team has also been hard at work crafting something special:

When you need a poetic, lovely, and thoughtful person with a truly off-beat sense of humor and style to play a love-lorn psychic , you only make one call: DoNormaal!!!

The poet laureate of modern Hip Hop , DoNormaal makes playdough of your soul, squeezing and twisting you into colorful shapes you can’t unwind from. Triumph after triumph, DoNormaal cannot be pigeonholed, changing directions and texture with every endeavor—and now acting. After acting in a small role in Fantasy A Gets a Mattress, playing the role of Krystal the Vampire, DoNormaal returns as another Krystal—KRYSTAL BALL! The titular character and the sensible heart of CRYSTAL BALL!, Krystal experiences love, familial craziness, bus-related nightmares, and makes homemade holograms!

Cool sea creature!

Fantasy A can walk on water! Your Rap God will slip off his Teva sandals and be walking bare foot across the Puget Sound from Seattle to Bainbridge Island for the Bainbridge Island Film Festival for two special screenings of Fantasy A Gets a Mattress!

See his Holiness in person… and be healed.
