Taking place during the pandemic in Kensington Market, Toronto, the film sees the story of two people on a date, one starved for any kind of connection, and the other content in the world he's created. Like a tape, there's two sides to the story, and on the other side is the comfortable world Tommy lives in, full of his music, his tapes, and the Walkman he plays them on. The film is meant to evoke the feel of a Super 8mm home movie, between the actual Super 8 footage, and the pacing and timing of a dusty film tucked away in a bin. I wanted to use Kensington as a canvas for the story, a place where neighbourhood meant supporting local haunts and shops, a decision that meant featuring the real-life Paradise Bound Records and Ozzy's Burgers. The film is a love letter to the area, and also to psychedelic indie music, particularly Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys' Smile, various groups from the Elephant 6 Collective, Captain Beefheart, and Daniel Johnston. Whether it be the lush, vibrance of Kensington in the Fall, or the anything goes of Tommy's basement, or the reality of isolation during the pandemic, or the joy of just sharing a tape -- and forming a connection." #FilmShortage #Tape #ShortFilm FILM SHORTAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram: https://instagram.com/filmshortage Twitter: https://twitter.com/filmshortage Facebook: https://facebook.com/filmshortage Website: https://filmshortage.com Film Shortage is home to the next generation of filmmakers, premiering some of the best and diverse short films online

Andrew Savoy once put out a little-heard rock album in 1970, then quit the music industry forever. 50 years later, now a hermit-like semi-retiree and grandfather, a visitor comes to his door -- claiming to be a shapeshifting alien being from where his one album was transmitted and has shaped the planet's civilization. And they want him to come back and write more songs.

The Infinite Andy Savoy is a story of regret, redemption... and devotion -- about an artist who bore his heart to the world, got rejected, and forces himself to live in a life he's settled for, a prison. It's a man who has spent half a century in a rut, mocking a part of his life that he really deep down misses -- but presented with the most baffling, and frankly terrifying place a fan could come from. It's reflected in production design (stark white walls), the mundaneness of his settled life, and the shock of being face to face with an alien who not only knows everything about him -- one that's disguised as a human -- but also one that loves him so much, something he's never given himself. The film is heavily inspired, in pacing and tone, by Rod Serling's work on The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery, with a soundtrack drawn from Bernard Herrman's incredible anthology television scores. It's a return to classic storytelling, and one that leaves no detail spared -- and one that any artist, or any creator that puts 100% of themselves into their art can appreciate." #FilmShortage #comedy #shortfilm FILM SHORTAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram: https://instagram.com/filmshortage Twitter: https://twitter.com/filmshortage Facebook: https://facebook.com/filmshortage Website: https://filmshortage.com Film Shortage is home to the next generation of filmmakers, premiering some of the best and diverse short films online
