STUCCO
This Academy Award Qualified, SXSW Winner has become one of the most watched short films on YouTube.
Before it was an experience we'd all endure, Stucco examined the unraveling effect of isolation and depression, served on a platter of slow burn 70's body horror.
Delivering it in genre makes for a unique and visceral cinematic experience.
