Slamdance Short Take Episodes: PUKE BITCH, DADDIES BOI, THE HUMAN WILL


PUKE BITCH
Playing in the episodes section of Slamdance this dark thriller is the first episode of series. To be honest I have no idea if I like the episode, but the tale of fringe sort of people with unpleasant interests, road kill being the least of them, is deeply disturbing.  Have gone through the show twice I know I don't want to revisit it because it bothers me so. That's a rave and a call for anyone who likes to dwell in the dark.


DADDIES BOI
This film is from the episodic section of the festival. It concerns two friends who are trying to make a buck selling companionship. Well acted and containing two intriguing lead characters this is a prime example of something episodic that should be a feature, since when the episode ended you will want more.


THE HUMAN, WILL
Narrated show about a man who gets fired and decides to try a different caree path. They are running a single episode at Slamdance and it's a major mistake. The press was given access to an hour's worth of the series and it's clear thata single seven minute  episode is not the way to go. The series doesn't click until the end of the second. This is really good but itshould have been a long short and not a series
