True Bromance

True Bromance is a 2012 film by British filmmaker Sebastian Doggart which explores the absurd advice that friends and family give when someone falls in love. It follows the quest of actor Devin Ratray, who wants to win the heart of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

The film is a bromantic comedy in the style of The Hangover. It has an original look combining live action footage with superhero comicbook visual effects, including animated bro cards to introduce each character multiframe panels as scene transitions thought bubbles to visualize Ratrays fears, fantasies and memories greenscreen composites of Devin interacting with his beloved Rice and handpainted animations of the films heroes.The films production history is a tortuous one. In July 2007, Discovery Communications commissioned the film for 600,000. In August 2007, one week before principal photography was due to begin, Discovery suddenly announced that they had canceled the film. This followed pressure from Karl Rove, who warned Discovery that the movie could damage their good relations with government. Discovery settled with the producers, American Princess LLC, for a 150,000 kill loan, forcing the producers to make the film on a shoestring. Rice continued to obstruct the film, sending State Department officials to raid the producers guesthouse in Washington, D.C., and plant a bug under a coffee table in their living roomactions which were documented on camera and included in the film. After test screenings at a number of festivals, the film was finally completed in March 2012. ........
