A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forest

Two guys head out for a canoe paddle one evening after work, near downtown Edmonton. On the bank of the river, something peeks out… and they can’t believe what they are seeing. It’s a stump, but, it’s also a rock? More than a metre across. They become obsessed with the artifact and learn that they have found a 70-million-year-old petrified tree stump. They begin the journey to get the stump out, so the world can see and enjoy this ancient piece of natural history, and as roadblocks arise, their determination only grows. PLUS, Sam Mullins was trying to make it as a comic, so when a guy at a bar approached him to star in an upcoming film, Sam gave an enthusiastic “'kay.” The film in question? Was a zombie-themed driver safety video shot deep in the B.C. forest, paid for by the municipal government of metro Vancouver… for internal use only. But Sam was going to be a star! He even wrangled a role for his friend Peter. It was all going so well until Peter ended up behind the wheel of the government truck... Hijinks ensue. [EXPLICIT LANGUAGE]
