A bizarre nether-region where things aren’t quite what they seem! Where unseen gods manipulate matter at will, throwing into chaos our notions of reality and perception! Where enormous hairballs may in fact eat you alive! At Cal Arts, under the influence of their then-teachers Pat O’Neill and Robert Nelson, the filmmakers created a hilarious homage to and good-natured mockery of self-serious artmaking, optical printing, conceptual work, and film school itself. A playful satire that does precisely what you’re «not supposed to do» as a film student, the film is loaded with intentional gaffes.
