Welcome. The Fool Factory is dedicated to bringing you quality works of art for free, or at least at a very reasonable cost. We can provide you with digital art for free, but the cost of videotapes, cd's, dvd's and the like is a bit too much for our mere pockets. However, we keep our prices as low as possible. Support the cause and enjoy some great work at the same time. Do you really need to own a copy of the latest Hollywood Crapfilm you'll never watch after a few months? NO! Wouldn't you rather own a unique work of art you can't find anywhere else? YES!

How to order:

1. Add up the item costs, then add the shipping charge.

2. Send us an email including the items ordered, total cost, your shipping information, and the name of a good creative work (favorite movie? album? whatever you want.)

3. Mail us check or money order (personal checks ok if they're under $50) or pay using Pay Pal (send pay pal payment to this pay pal account: bigcheese - at - foolfactory.com)

The Tragedy of Tonsil - 89 min. 1997 $12 VHS or DVD

Meet Tonsil - a 24 year old guy who acts like he's 10! This fly-on-the-wall look at people is full of subtle humor and natural dialogue and boasts some of the best performances in independent film!

"The performances in Tonsil are better than in any of the short or feature films I saw at the Sundance Film Festival." - Lisa Gaede, Sundance Film Institute

"The Tragedy of Tonsil is a very engaging, very creative work." -Bo Smith, Boston Museum of Fine Arts Film Program

"Tonsil could be used in colleges- psychology, sociology, and creative writing classes... the film has a lasting quality to it. It was a great film experience." -Carolyn Thomas

"Tonsil forces the audience to mind travel between characters, rather than letting them off the hook as passive observers. It requires the viewer to actively place themselves in the proper frame of mind, and I was rewarded for doing so." -Rob Tate, writer, producer, director of Neptune's Rocking Horse

"Memo Salazar has found his own particular angle to the universe. The Tragedy of Tonsil is a signal of relief from the riddle of reality. Stan Lee meets Franz Kafka or Slacker in Alphaville." -Nick Karcasinas, University Film Lecturer
