Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore: Miss. March March 12, 2009 
After having found a wave of success in the form of their small screen phenomenon, 'The Whitest Kids U Know,' skit artists Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore have taken their talent to the big screen in the form of Miss March.

While their characters his the road in search of a lost love, the actors have hit the road in support of the film which hits theaters today!

Fortunately, the guys stopped by to dish the dirt on the film, their TV show, and the possibility of a 'Miss April.'


CollegeMovieReview.com: You guys directed, wrote and starred in Miss March. Did you ever feel overwhelmed with all that you were responsible for?

Zack Cregger: There was this one time, on the first day of shooting, that things got a little crazy. We were working with kids, and things can always get crazy when you are working with kids. But that was early on, during the first day. After that, everything went surprisingly smooth.


CMR: You guys have created 'The Whitest Kids U Know,' a popular television show on the IFC. How was writing and creating a motion picture different from that.

Trevor Moore: It was definitely larger. With a film you have to think about the characters and how, or even if they are going to grow throughout the film. WIth a TV show, you don't have to worry about whether a particular character is liked. But with a film, it is really important because [the audience] is going to spend an hour and a half with these people. You don't want them to be boring.


CMR: Where did you get the idea for Miss March?

ZC: Fox actually contacted us with a scrip called 'Playboy;' which we initially passed on. It was just a generic original road comedy and we didn't really want to make our initial statement with a film like that.

TM: But then they came back later and allowed us to change the script as much as we wanted to. So we changed it completely. The dialogue, the story, the characters; everything changed except for the concussion. That was really all we kept.


CMR: How important was it for Playboy to participate in the film?

TM: We initially tried to do the entire film without them.

ZC: Yea, when you bring in a company like Playboy, you have to worry about how much input they will give. You are always worried about how bad they will micromanage.

TM: In fact, our first cut of the film had Robert Wagner playing Hugh Hefner, and the audience absolutely hated it. So we then went to Playboy to see what they thought and were very fortunate that they liked the film as much as they did.


CMR: Out of all your creative hats, which one was most fun?

TM: Writing is easily the most fun. You are able to be free and creative. It is exciting. Everything after that is about making sure that you live up to the standards that you had as you were writing.


CMR: What projects do you guys have next?

ZC: Hopefully a season four of 'The Whitest Kids U Know,' and then depending on how good this movie is, we hope to eventually make a movie.


CMR: So there won't be a sequel?

ZC: Ha. Well we kind of thought about it. ANd when you see the movie you will realize that the guys have told their story in this film. There really isn't a reason for a sequel, so I wouldn't count on it.


CMR: Name the first thing that comes to your mind...

1. Best Comedy Ever Made.

ZC: The Big Lebowski.

TM: Life of Bryan.

2. Best Comedy Actor Ever.

ZC: Pete Sellers.

TM: Same.
