Viewing Notes

This was the third short film in the Horrible Imaginings block for LockdownCon Film Festival (the second short isn’t in TMDb or IMDb and was under 2 minutes so I’m not gonna add it but it was a cute animated short featuring Gingerbread men in a Game of Thrones scenario called GINGERFALL: RECKONING).

This short is another by Izzy Lee who always has her work pop up at film fests. Seems like every fest I’ve attended in the last 6 years has featured one of her short films. This one is way different than her other narrative work. It’s like a mockumentary on a Werner Herzog documentary. It’s absurd and amusing.
