LO-BUDGET MAYHEM: Stay At Home
Saturday 23rd January 2021
FINGERNAILS, dir. Sam Brewster
We've all had to adapt to working from home this year gone, including our beloved low budget filmmakers.
Ever-resourceful on a budget, and enlivened with a little lockdown-induced cabin fever, this batch of pennywise shorts have turned out both ingenious and suitably screwball.
From the life story of a swearing fridge, to fingernails that talk back, to a paranormal takeover, these aren't lockdown films per se but use homes and interiors to play through sketches of our time inside. Programmed by Philip Ilson. 48'
