Charlie Shackleton

Constellating fragments from decades of film and television, newcomer Anthony Ing creates a playful, yet profound portrait of a woman who has toiled in the margins of our screens. Forget about stars: this hypnotic short is entranced with the nameless people who form the wondrous texture of life.

After rapturous test screenings, a new kind of horror flick for the postmodern 1990s fell victim to fumbled distribution and a blizzard of bad luck. Channeling a quest for truth into a nine-minute video, Charlie Shackleton lends a microphone to the ill-fated filmmaker of an eclipsed cult classic.
