Boggy Trailers

An abandoned car. Dangerous spiders. Unrequited love. And hundreds of blackberries. In the heart of her childhood bog, Anita invites her best friend Jill for a “camping sleepover.” But things are not what they seem as Anita neglects to mention traumatic events from her past, and some secrets are unwilling to stay beneath the surface. Told through a video-collage compromised of a live-recording from a 2021 reading—with layers upon layers of B-roll, animations, and puppetry — Jonah Barnett’s “Boggy” is the cumulative work between the author themself and twelve different artists.

Reviews
Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
