Because of the length of The Brutalist and a couple other commitments today (including Sunday Morning Sidewalk and a Dodger game), the second June Swoon film had to be a live action short. Going on YouTube, I found a neat little sci-fi/comedy bit called Finger Food.

The film starred Ali Khan, Jessica Balmer, Angus Barnett, Debbie Chazen and the scene-stealing and totally hilarious Maggie Ollerenshaw. This cast has been very active in the world of movies and shows as they all have quite a strong list of projects they had appeared in.

The synopsis of the short in the YouTube said “Jason desperately wants to be liked by his girlfriend’s parents. Things prove more difficult upon a horrifying discovery...”

This was really well done. It was laugh out loud at times and I loved the work from all of the main actors in the short. As I said, Maggie Ollerenshaw stood out as Nana, perhaps the creepiest nana of all time.

There is a moment in the short movie that you suddenly get an understanding of what might be happening involving a fly that was a shocking and sudden event that truly caught me off guard and I did not see it coming. Well done on that.

The short ended with me wanting to know so much more. The situation that Jason had found himself stuck in was unbelievable and I really would like to know what was going to happen.
