Strawberry Kisses

Directed by Enoch Mailangi

Trust Enoch to make a joke about the bi-larious strawberry needlegate. This short stars Tommy Misa spewing up blood - my two biggest fears are performing illness and nobody believing me, and sharing body fluids with nobody. It could convey overloaded capitalist-heavy subtexts about food shortages. But (and I know it’s bad to start a sentence with ‘but’) it’s the fantasy of poisoning children that reminds us this work is about hysterical news and media panic as entertainment. It’s very Sarah Paulson, somehow…
