Weirdo
Written & Directed by Ashlea Wessel
2020, Canada
A bullying incident leads to some disturbing revelations in this offering from the maker of the classic horror short film Tick (2018).
Weirdo stands on its own but, like Tick, its story cries out for lengthier exploration.
Wessel is currently in post-production on the feature film Junction Row.
Tick
Written & Directed by Ashlea Wessel
2018, Canada
Set in a bleak near-future, a young woman with biological characteristics that make her a feared outsider tries to avoid capture by government agents.
Auteur Wessel, who previously made the horror short Ink (2016), delivers a fresh take on a familiar horror antagonist that demands to be watched more than once.
Tick also cries out for feature-length treatment.
