THE COMEDY “THE URN” SHOWING AT REGENCY THEATERS-FAIRFAX  

The Los Angeles showing of the zany comedy, “The Urn,” is slated for Feb. 29, 2008 at the Regency Theaters Fairfax Cinemas on Fairfax and Beverly. Written and directed by Skip Usen, the film features a stellar cast including Emmy Award winning Actor Fyvush Finkel (Picket Fences, Boston Public), Stanley Kamel (Dr. Kroger on Monk; among countless others), Armin Shimerman (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), Irwin Keyes (Intolerable Cruelty), Rosalee Mayeaux (The Lawnmower Man), and Greg Zola (Pearl Harbor).

Shot in Santa Monica, “The Urn” follows a very busy week in the life of a Secular Jewish family dealing with their Grandma Sophie’s death.  Much to her son Joseph’s (Stanley Kamel) chagrin, her husband Sol (Fyvush Finkel) has cremated her and insists on carrying her urn everywhere with him.  At the same time, Joseph’s free-spirited ex-wife Zoe (Rosalee Mayeaux) shows up for the funeral. Their son Daniel (Greg Zola) also makes a surprise appearance: he has been in Israel for two years studying to be a Hassidic Jew, unbeknownst to any of the family.  And if that wasn’t enough excitement, cousin Albert (Irwin Keyes) from the wrong side of the tracks, makes a surprise visit with outlandish requests of his own.
