Doily’s Summer Of Freak Occurances
Director: Giuseppe Andrews
Ok people…Mr. Andrews is experimenting. For those of you who have experienced Giuseppe’s own brand of artistry will notice the changes. A heightened saturation of color, an enlightened sense of humor and a bizarre love story that will have you falling out of your seats once again. – J.L.
Giuseppe and I recently spoke and here are some things he had to say about his approach to a new direction in his storytelling…
“I was really into the works of Ed Wood. I fight with people who say bad things about this man. He is an unbelievable example of creativity with little money.”
“I wanted to make a sci-fi film that had a lot of slice of life footage and tell a love story between an older man and a young girl. And Vietnam Ron is that kind of guy whose face tells you the cosmic forces fucking with him.”
