Oska Bright Film Festival 2024: Not a F***ing Horror Story and The Puppet Asylum
Join us for a double bill screening
Not A F***ing Horror Story is a feature-length documentary following 35-year old Otto through a period of change, as he makes his film. It's driven by a moment of realisation for Otto. He's recently experienced bereavement and family health scares that have forced him to think about mortality for the first time - his own and those closest to him.
The Puppet Asylum is a 30-minute short film set in Victorian London. It's an allegorical horror biopic written and directed by Otto Baxter as a reimagining of his own life, from birth to becoming his own master. The unpredictable tale, straight from Otto's anarchic mind, charts Otto's birth as a horned baby in a blood-spattered morgue, through his wayward teens, to his years in captivity in The Puppet Asylym.
