Cannibal! The Musical is a student film directed by the future creator of South Park, Trey Parker, while studying at the University of Colorado at Boulder. A black comedy, it is (loosely) based on the true story of Alferd Packer and the sordid details of the trip from Utah to Colorado that left his five fellow travellers dead and partially eaten. Trey Parker stars as Alferd Packer, with frequent collaborator Matt Stone featured as James Humphrey, and Stan Brakhage—experimental filmmaker and University of Colorado teacher—as George Noon’s father. Trey Parker is listed in the film’s credits under the name “Juán Schwartz”, which is a variant of “John Schwartze”, a pseudonym used by the real Alferd Packer. Character George ‘California’ Noon is played by Dian Bachar, who also works with Matt Stone and Trey Parker in Orgazmo, BASEketball and provides some voices for Team America: World Police as well as South Park. |
