It’s not every day you hear about a film being made by co- writers, co- producers, and co- directors who are also co- starring in over sixty percent of their own film, a monster movie comedy titled The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue, which finished production late in July. But then again John Laflamboy and Mike Bradecich are not your everyday filmmakers, they’ve been making short films and music videos together for years and come from very rich theater and improv backgrounds, which anyone will tell you are founded in trust and creative collaboration.
The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue is quite possibly the first feature length narrative film of late to draw so extensively from Chicago’s rich pool of improv comedy actors and in fact both directors freely admit that nearly all of the roles were written specifically for each actor. With the help of local casting agency TP&R, the all star line up includes Susan Messing, Dina Facklis, Greg Hollimon, Brad Morris, Dan Jessup, and an improvised scene between TJ Jagodowski and Dave Pasquesi, sure to be cutting edge hilarity.
The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue also brought Robert Englund to Chicago, ironically during the production of the latest Nightmare on Elmstreet to play a role in the film. Englund thanked the entire cast and crew for the experience and praised the screenplay while predicting the film was sure to become a cult classic. John Laflamboy and Mike Bradecich expressed how excited they were to combine the best forces of talent for comedy and horror nerds alike.

Synopsis:
Marion and Jarmon Mugg have never had to work very hard. They’ve never had much responsibility, and no one has ever put any expectations on them to perform or achieve, well… anything.
But two years ago their mother died, leaving them the brownstone apartment building that has been in the family since its days as a speakeasy during Prohibition. In that short time, their slacker ways have run the building into the ground. The tenants are moving out, no one but them and their friends drinks at the bar on the ground floor, and the building’s pets are going missing. If all that isn’t enough to make them sit up and take notice, there’s also a good chance that a monster is living in the basement.
“The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue” is a horror/ comedy that explores what happens when a terrible situation is dropped into the laps of the two people least equipped to deal with it. The Brothers Mugg can either step up to the plate and finally grow up, or they can wait and clean up the mess as a mysterious creature eats every living thing in the building, one by one.
