Mystico Fantastico

Narrative Feature (Mystico Fantastico screens as a work in progress)
On a typical day, this small town is very peaceful. Grandmothers tell stories of
biblical monsters while gently slapping the listener with a shoe. The daily routine of
sunset ball play is interrupted only by the call of fresh fried sausages, or, perhaps, by
the beckoning of a colorful alcoholic beverage. But this day was not a typical one.
This day, the sea did not bring the usual boat engine, fish scull or metal briefcase
ashore. Instead, it delivered a woman and a doll. It is a group of Mexican hipsters
beach bums who come upon this woman and her doll. Louise ?? who may or may not
be a disgruntled hippie dropping out, or a failed Ponzi schemer seeking solace in the
ocean ?? responds to her new surroundings with a coma?like stare. But when her
Mexican nightmare refuses to cease and desist, she has no choice but to engage with
her new environment. And through mainlining alcohol poisoning, hallucinations,
music, a creepy talking doll, lust, friendship and a coconut milk shower, the woman
from the sea becomes humble before the mysteries of life. Louise, a medical archives
systems manager in her thirties recognizes that for her, home is no longer located in
the republic of solitude but in the simple act of letting the world in and allowing for
possibilities she had never, until now, dreamt of.

Narrative Short
Bordering on the absurd, this trailer style spoof short takes a look at a trigger-happy New York mob boss who needs to decide between blood and wine. It's the Sopranos meets the Godfather, meets Goodfellas meets Sideways.
