William Earl Pauly Shore‘s performance as Richard Simmons is seeing the light of day, just days after plans for a feature film biopic were announced.

A 10-minute short film starring Shore, titled “The Court Jester,” premiered at the Cabin in Park City on Friday. The event isn’t an official Sundance Film Festival screening, but was certainly positioned to draw in festival goers. “The Court Jester” is now available to watch online through the Lewis Brothers’ YouTube channel.

A second screening at the Cabin is set for Jan. 22. The director, Jake Lewis, is best known for his viral Robin Williams impersonation.

It stars Jesse Heiman, best known as a conspicuous extra who has appeared in films like “Spider-Man,” “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “The Social Network.” Heiman plays a segment producer who partners with Simmons amid backstage drama at a talk show. “I’m really excited about sharing Richard Simmons’s life with the world.
