This video don't work!

[rich]

I saw this short film in San Francisco around Halloween time in 2005
or 2006; of all the ones we saw in the group of scary shorts, this was
the most memorable

i remember turning to my buddy and saying what the fuck was that?

if you can find it there's another film called Treasure Island which
ranks up there with great strangeness which I highly recommend



Treasure Island Movie Notes
Frank (Lance Baker) and Samuel (Nick Offerman) are government
employees working in a secret base in Northern California in 1945.
World War II is in full swing, and the body of an unidentified
American has been discovered by the military. Frank and Samuel are
assigned to establish a false identity for the corpse that will
include bogus documents to be attached to the body, which will then be
dumped into the Pacific in hope that the Japanese will find it. Samuel
is married and repeatedly brings home strange men to have sex with his
wife. Frank has two wives as well as a Japanese mistress who must
remain in hiding. The corpse, who reveals himself to be a young gay
man with a healthy sex drive, seems to pop up at inopportune times,
catching both quiet Frank and boisterous, macho Samuel off guard. But
is the corpse really alive, or is it just attempting to teach the
living men about their true selves? Cryptic dialogue and unanswered
questions fuel the film until V-J Day brings it to an even more
chaotic conclusion.

This original film--in no way inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's
novel--follows two top secret government employees in 1945 Northern
California. Their latest job is to trick the Japanese by dumping a
falsely identified body into the Pacific Ocean. As they continue to
pursue their bizarre sexual fetishes, the body of the man frequently
enters their lives. Is he dead, or is this all just a quirky fable?
Scott King's film is a visual treat, one that raises questions instead
of providing concrete answers.

Released on home video January 30, 2001.
