Wheek Flesh

Synopsis

A crew of film students hunker down in an apartment, determined to make a horror movie about a pet guinea pig with a thirst for blood. As the evening progresses, exhaustion and frustration set in and creative conflict arises, but nobody is permitted to leave the set until the director’s vision is achieved. The students lose sense of time and reality as the set disintegrates into a comedic and absurd fever-dream.
Wheek Flesh is a 25 minute experimental-mockumentary-horror-comedy shot entirely on Hi-8. Think The Blair Witch Project meets Cecil B. Demented meets Ryan Trecartin. It is the thesis film of Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema (Montreal) students Annie MacLeod and Clare Dawson.
