What other filmmakers say
"One of the bravest & funniest short films on the net"
"These films deserve to be seen because they're unflinching in their bravery," says Hueston. "In order to make people laugh in the world today, you have to have an unwavering desire to find humor in any situation. Modern comedy has to be brave and the makers of these films understand that. All the films we selected to highlight are hysterical and ballsy"
--Hueston & O Sullivan(Lost Colony)

It was one of the most mind blowingly daring things I think I've ever seen. It's saying to me that here's someone who thinks, excuse my French!, fuck everybody else... I think this is funny and if they don't like it then fuck em because it's done now! I laughed out loud several times and was open mouthed throughout at just how bizarre and different it was. Well done but I also must admit I am rather worried for your mental stability. 'Tis a sign of genius though, I'm sure!
-Darren Fischer (SHANKS director)

There really is no describing just what is going on in New Old Captain Undergarments, because I don't think anyone else on the planet can quite explain it either. The shortest of the three features I've seen from Mr. Gonzales, New Old Captain Undergarments takes a little bit from the first Undergarments film, and adds a little bit to the pot and stirs into a completely insane little short.

official selection NOSOTROS FILM FEST 2006

(Jury panel finalist)
official selection VALLEY FILM FEST 2007
official selection AVA FILM FEST 2007
Take one part Three Stooges (also the Marx Brothers, Laurel & Hardy, etc.), take one part Looney Tunes - and you get "My Wallet"
"MY WALLET"makes for a playful and hilarious watch. If you're a fan of oddball, absurd and retro comedy - with the short films of Richard Gonzales,
My Wallet is a great place to start.-- Joshua Samford (roguecinema.com)

Director and writer Richard Gonzales single-handily revives the lost art of slapstick comedy with the help of his talented young crew of comedic-actors.
"MY WALLET" is a hilarious little gem that accomplishes in 8 minutes what most modern comedies cannot achieve within 90 minutes. Richard Gonzales really knows how to make an audience laugh and extracts the best comedic performances from his actors.
Watch it once, watch it twice, watch it 100 times, "MY WALLET" never loses its great charm and appeal.-- DASH ( filmfanatix.com )
