SATURDAY SHORT: HUGH THE HUNTER (2015)
“This is the tale of Hugh the Hunter, and the remarkable things he sees… And that see him.” Hugh the Hunter (2015) is a not-so-typical hunting story inspired by and starring artist Hugh Hayden. When an artist’s work is made into live-action, it often lacks plot to keep it interesting. Under the direction of Zachary Heinzerling, this short is an exception.
SATURDAY SHORT: CHAPEL PERILOUS (2014)
Instead of home security, satellite TV, or pesticides, a door-to-door salesman pitches the ability to unlock the full potential of his unlucky subjects through decoding their “mystery DNA”.
SATURDAY SHORT: RAT PACK RAT (2014)
Sundance Film Festival has a knack for featuring shorts that test how much our stomachs can tolerate, and how absurd a storyline can get while still drawing in our empathy. Rat Pack Rat left me with a discomfort not dissimilar to Bobby Miller’s Tub, that premiered at Sundance in 2010. I probably won’t put myself through watching it twice, but I’m very glad I watched it once.
Content Warning: This short contains strong adult situations.
