If one searches the words “Car Babes” online, they may discover a list of Web sites devoted to half-naked women next to shiny sports cars. Or, they may stumble upon the title of a new comedy about life on a used car lot.

The film “Car Babes,” directed and produced by five Bay Area filmmakers, stars a cast of comedians such as Ben Savage from the 90s show “Boy Meets World” and Blake Clark from the film “50 First Dates.”

“Car Babes” is the first feature-length film written, directed, and produced by all five filmmakers, who channeled their love for the art of making movies to produce this slapstick comedy.

The idea for the film was conceptualized by Blake Dirickson, 27, who is one of the co-producers and writers of the film. He said he gained the inspiration for the film from a used car lot in Santa Clara, where he worked for 18 months.

He would often share stories with his friends about the car babes he worked with. He pitched the concept to filmmakers Chris Wolf, 27, Nick Fumia, 27, Ben Rehki, 28, and Liz Destro, 27, and they loved the idea.

“It was the most emotionally and physically draining thing I’ve ever done and I loved every minute of it,” said Fumia.

“Car Babes” is a story about 24-year-old Ford Davis, played by Savage, who, just out of college, reluctantly takes a job at his dad’s car lot. His father, Big Len, played by Clark, teaches Davis that selling cars is essentially about selling yourself.

Soon, he begins to gain confidence in selling cars with the help from his co-workers known as the car babes, played by Jon Gries (“Napoleon Dynamite”), Donnell Rawlings (“Chapelle’s Show”) and David Shackelford (“There’s Something About Mary”).

When Big Len’s dealership is threatened by the film’s antagonist, played by Kevin Blackton (“Rent”), Davis comes up with a scheme to save the lot from doom.

The inspiration for the story line of the film was originally pitched as a television pilot, according to Fumia. His experience working at a talent agency, and reading movie scripts, led him to transform the pilot into a feature film project. He said the next step was raising the money to begin the project.

The filmmakers began searching for investors, and eventually received a grant from Panavision, offering them two 35 mm cameras. The collaborative effort to get the film off the ground took a toll on Fumia, who said he thought writing the film was the hardest thing next to the production process.

“The biggest challenge we faced with this project was convincing friends and strangers to invest in a group of filmmakers who didn’t have much under their belts in the realm of filmmaking,” Wolf said.

The production took place at Moore Pontiac & Buick in Los Gatos and lasted 26 days, according to Destro, who said the effort that goes into making a feature film does not stop at production. The filming took place in summer 2005.

She added that people forget that when production ends, there still remains another year or more to get the film sold and in the market.

Having to put the film together on a “spit and glue” budget (an industry term for low budget), covering 126 days of script in 26 days, caused the cast to improvise and adjust along the way, according to Wolf. He said it is under these circumstances, however, that the most creative things happen.

Much like the car babes they portray in the film, Wolf said being a filmmaker also starts and ends with the ability to sell yourself. He said “Car Babes” is a stepping-stone to something bigger for each of the filmmakers.

“Watching a little dream turn into something that is essentially immortal and the experience of creating something that starts on piece of paper and ends up on the big screen is really rewarding,” Wolf said.

“Car Babes” will make its debut at the Hollywood Film Festival on Oct. 13.
