The Alley Cat, a feature film : Teaser (2012)
Production: July 2012
The events of The Alley Cat take place during a single night. Jasper, the main character, is the same character from the short film Faster! in a completely new set of circumstances. We meet Jasper and her messenger friends during an alley cat race - an alcohol-fueled competition that is put on by bike messengers for bike messengers in alleys and deserted downtown streets in the middle of the night. Messengers from different companies compete for bragging rights about who is fastest, most agile, and the best messenger, through a series of events. There is a bike sprint, a track stand "race" in which the cyclists must stand in their pedals without moving and without falling over for as long as possible, and finally a delivery simulation.

World Premiere at 2012 Hollyshorts Film Festival
The Assassination of Chicago's Mayor is a historical account of late 19th century Chicago full of rhetoric that feels eerily contemporary. Prendergast follows his brand of ideological righteousness to its hateful end, an end where justice and revenge are one in the same.
