Paul Dooley's romantic 'Head Over Heels' steps into Hollywood Film Festival

"Head Over Heels," an amusing short film written/directed by character actor Paul Dooley ("Sixteen Candles," "Breaking Away") and starring comic icons Tim Conway, Bob Balaban, Jeffrey Tambor and the late Harvey Korman is part of the Hollywood Comedy Film Festival program.

The idea behind "Head Over Heels," was to tell a story without faces.

 While Dooley initially experimented with various body parts (reminiscent of many '30s films -- a hand on a gun, lighting a cigarette -- and the opening scene of "The Big Chill"), he eventually narrowed it down to just feet.

It's a tale of love found, lost and ...?

Tim plays a warden (with a shoe secret); Korman is the evil landlord; Paul plays love interest Johnny; and Bob plays the doctor.

After a few minutes, you don't even miss seeing faces and you begin to realize how expressive feet can be. 

The 28-minute short will play as part of the Shorts Program #4, and screens Oct. 24, at 5 p.m. Click here for more information.
