Second City Short Short Film Winner Imagines How Malört Is Made

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Feb 28, 2013 11:00PM

Every month The Second City hosts a short film competition where entrants are required to create a film based on a suggested theme from the previous month — a nice tie-in between the repertory's improv and film concerns.

This month's suggestion was "What's that smell on the bus?" The winning video, "The Adventures of Carl Wisniewski," creates a warped fantasy that starts with a disheveled man in clown makeup on a bus and ends with the secret to making Jeppson's Malört.

We can totally see this happening.
