Umgotts Studios
Video Producers  Websites: Umgotts Studios was founded in 1904 as a collaboration between the Austrian and Turkish governments, later outsourced to the cheap labor force of American college students at the dawn of the 21st century. As a result, the once great studios that at one time created such amazing masterpieces as Eternal Karate Champion Fighters and Q-Bert: The Motion Picture now primarily releases videos consisting of Star Wars jokes shot on digital video. The most recent endeavor of the group, now headed by Slim Gatsby and Amadeus, is a sequel to their first offering, the fandom parody *OMGWTF! Furries*, a short mockumetary hailed by many as the Schindler's List of furry film-making. *OMGWTF! Furries II: The Wrath of Con *is in perpetual production with an evanescent release date, with estimates ranging from August 18th, 1997 to October 21st, 2015. The members of the crew were named from several old literary works and textbooks found in a storm drain. Slim Gatsby, named after the secret agent/superhero/rapper from F. Scott Fitzgerald's great American novel *Gatsby Is The Greatest*, handles most of the editing and a good deal of a writing. His fortes are the saber, video game trivia, psychology, and developmental genetics. Amadeus, the namesake of the Baroque-era Austrian pop star, is trained in the ancient Japanese art of American Literary Analysis and a licensed Professor of Mayhem, and as such personifies a good deal of the writing talent of Umgotts Studios. DS, named for his favorite hand-held system, the Nintendo Game & Watch, can kick real high. Hobbies and interest include wrecking some serious stuff and falling asleep on Gatsby's bed while him and Amadeus are both a) drunk and b) writing the group biography, and has green Sharpie on his elbow as a result. He "doesn't give an f---ing s---" that we're doing this and considers the rest of the group "f---ing retarded;" he is also the only one who does not regularly subject himself to the furry fandom. Mitsu is also a regular contributer as artisan extraordinair...extraordinaree...spell-check keeps underlining it, but Mitsu draws good. She's also a pretty fine lady. Having a girl here makes us all less of losers. Right? For some clips and trailers of OMGWTF! Furries Original Flavor, check out:
Two trailers for the upcoming sequel are also available!
