The Second City's first-ever film BUZZKILL takes form of a dark comedy, following the life of a struggling writer, Ray Wyatt, who crosses paths with a notorious fugitive dubbed The Karaoke Killer, played by Darrell Hammond. uPlaya has teamed up with The Second City to find a breakout hit for feature placement in the film, and music artists have until November 30th to submit songs to uPlaya's free Music Universe Contest for their chance to win this amazing opportunity!

Hollywood Film Fest 2010 gives special attention to the "subversive comedies" in this year's lineup. With Indican marketing VP Randolph Hamilton helping to program the event, the festival helps to bring up-and-coming comedians and indie filmmakers to the spotlight. One of Hamilton's top picks was a dark comedy by The Second City, "Buzzkill," which features two star turns: Daniel Raymont as the neurotic lead and Krysten Ritter as a smart-ass young woman. "The interchange between the two reminds me of the best of comedies from the 1970s," Hamilton says, "such as 'Harold & Maude,' when comedy had teeth instead of just being over the top."

Born and raised in North GA, this handsome singer/ songwriter decided to jumpstart his music career by moving to Athens, GA- the birthplace for both modern alternative rock and New Wave Music. Picking up local gigs throughout the college city helped him to catch the eye of country rocker Zac from the Zac Brown Band and land the opening act for the alternative country group most nights at the famed GA Theatre. Following in the footsteps of major music groups and artists to come out of Athens like R.E.M, Widespread Panic and the B-52's, to name a few, Eric has quickly built up a wide ranging fan base from screaming college girls to old school rockers.
