- 2002
- 35 min
"Beer and Art" is a dark comedy about how an intimate get-together between two new friends sets the stage for betrayel. Sylvia, a poet, devastated by the rejections of her work (especially by her writing teacher) is wary about sharing her poetry with her co-worker, Arlene, who seems benevolent about offering her critique. Sylvia, however, is essentially unaware of Arlene's self-serving, manipulative intentions.
Violence ensues!
"Cave People" is a dark comedy about witchcraft, depression, and the sexual sibling rivalry between a gay man and his white trash sister.
Family jealousy reaches twisted new heights as mentally-unstable brother and exhibitionistic sister engage in a perverse competition. Add to this stew, a neighbor (whose a witch on disability) and you have a campy exercise in dysfunction.
