Semi-Final Film Overview
Vincenzo has lost his poo. His search will force him into uncomfortable territory, physically and mentally. The Phantom Turd was conceived as a comical interpretation of the deterioration of the human body and mind. Dead‘pan’ humour, if you will. Only by finding peace with his situation and in life will our hero be able to leave it, and the toilet, satisfied.
I wrote, directed and edited the piece. My Dad is my hero and here he plays the lead, a character he inspired and I deformed with my evil thoughts. We set the film in our own house WC in Wells, Somerset. I wanted an intimate, uncomfortable home movie feel.
Thank you for watching!
