00:00Director Timothy Hines has completed production on his latest feature film,

00:06The Wild Girls, a wilderness survival comedy set against the backdrop of the Great Depression.

00:12Shot on location in Washington State, the film follows two clueless New York City heiresses.

00:17There's nobody here!

00:19Tinsley and Maddie Wilde, who find themselves stranded in the wilderness

00:22after being swindled out of their fortune following their father's death.

00:26Tinsley, you do not know this man.

00:27She has mental problems.

00:28I do not have mental problems.

00:30This has to be a mistake.

00:31I don't even think it is a house. I believe it is a boathouse.

00:34A boathouse? Where do we find a telephone?

00:37With a bounty placed on their heads to ensure they don't return to high society...

00:41I am going to kill you!

00:47Don't take us that person!

00:50Their only hope lies in a reluctant partnership with a gruff mountain man,

00:54played by New York's favorite stand-up comic, Teddy Smith.

00:57No, he is definitely saying bear. He's saying that there is a bear behind you!

01:03That there is a bear behind us!

01:07A bear behind us!

01:13Hines, known for his work on Tomorrow's Today and 10 Days in a Madhouse,

01:17was inspired by his personal connection to the era.

01:20As a young man, he recorded hundreds of hours of stories from Depression-era survivors,

01:26shaping the film's unique blend of comedy and historical context.

01:30Hines wanted to explore how people with zero survival skills would survive in a life-or-death situation.

01:35I have only ever seen wolves at the Bronx Zoo,

01:38and they just walked around in circles, looking like they wanted to eat you.

01:42They walked in circles because they were in a cage.

01:45The script came together with natural opportunities for humor.

01:48Where did you get the zoology book off of a street bender in Times Square?

01:55I'm saving my purse!

01:57No, you are not!

01:58I got that in Paris! It cost $10,000!

02:00Well, things are different now!

02:01What are those beasts?

02:03I think they're raccoons, judging by their stripes.

02:06What do they want with my lipstick and my makeup?

02:08And deeper undertones of grief.

02:13Produced by longtime collaborator Susan Goforth,

02:16The Wild Girls unites Hines with a talented cast,

02:19including Callie Scolari, daughter of the late great comedic actor

02:22and Emmy winner Peter Scolari of New Heart,

02:24Bosom Buddies alongside Tom Hanks and Girls' Fame.

02:28You cannot simply yell at the man for him to get our Aunt Beatrice on the line,

02:31as if people out here just somehow know who our Aunt Beatrice

02:34almost 3,000 miles back in New York City is,

02:36and that they just have her telephone number on file somehow.

02:39Newcomer Lydia Pearl Pence.

02:41You seriously can't expect me to have a conversation out here,

02:44in the open wilderness?

02:47Uh, no ma'am, I don't expect anything.

02:49Don't be droll, there are insects.

02:51Ma'am, I doubt the insects will be listening in.

02:54Impertinent, I want your name. Give me your name.

02:57And New York's favorite stand-up comic, Teddy Smith.

03:00Really?

03:03She didn't mean to.

03:05You didn't?

03:05Yes, there was a cigarette.

03:07She was looking for matches.

03:08You?

03:08But the matchbox had fallen under the lever of the brake,

03:10so I pulled it out of the way.

03:12You took the brake off?

03:14She did.

03:15But you took the brake off on the other man's car as well.

03:17Yes, but for an entirely different reason.

03:20A different reason?

03:22You, you blew up my truck for a different reason?

03:26Well, it sounds silly when you say it.

03:28The Wild Girls is set for completion soon,

03:31with anticipation building for its comedic take on survival,

03:37privilege,

03:37and resilience.
