Pompano Boys Triumph: Houston Comedy Film Fest Winners!

In a riotous celebration of comedic talent, “Pompano Boys and The Gender Reveal Party” emerged victorious as the Best Comedy Series Episode at the esteemed Houston Comedy Film Festival. Directed by the dynamic duo of Eric Christopher Newcombe and Bradley John Rayson, this uproarious series delights audiences with its unique blend of humor, absurdity, and social commentary.

Set against the backdrop of a gender reveal party gone hilariously awry, “Pompano Boys” follows the misadventures of two well-meaning protagonists as they inadvertently unleash chaos and comedy in equal measure. Born and raised in Pompano Beach, Eric and Brad infuse their series with the authentic charm and irreverent wit of their hometown, creating a truly memorable viewing experience.

But what sets “Pompano Boys” apart is its ability to tackle weighty themes with a light-hearted touch. From the absurdity of conspiracy theories to the complexities of identity and self-actualization, the series deftly navigates a myriad of topics with humor and heart.

Behind the scenes, Eric and Brad bring a wealth of experience and creativity to their craft. Having met at Pompano High and later studying Creative Writing at Florida State University, the duo shares a passion for storytelling that shines through in every episode of “Pompano Boys.”

Their journey from skateboarding buddies to award-winning filmmakers is as entertaining as their series itself. Eric’s adventures biking across the US and living on the streets of San Francisco, coupled with Brad’s stint as a hard-rocking musician in Tampa, provided ample material for their comedic exploits.

In their directorial statement, Eric and Brad describe “Pompano Boys” as an episodic crime comedy where AI, the Cabbal, and warring underground factions vie for control of humanity. However, their plans are no match for the Magoosian Heroes—the Pompano Boys—who bring chaos wherever they go, despite their best intentions.
