Glen is barely a man. In a desperate attempt to tap into his masculinity he attends a primal scream therapy session, but even surrounded by wailing men he cannot make a sound. When another member of the class pushes Glen too far he finally lets something out- a miniature version of himself which does whatever it wants, regardless of the consequences.

Writer/Director: Simon Cartwright
Producer: Kamilla Hodol
Format: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera , Canon Zooms & Zeiss Superspeeds

A wild, dark, punk-rock comedy following mild mannered Glen who unleashes the beast in a wild night of debauchery!

The film is an incredibly unique work from animation director Simon Cartwright (Astronomer's Sun) performed by marionette puppets.
