Short Film: SCHLOCK FISH




"Schlock Fish" is a whimsical comedy about a fisherman who loses his eye to a fish and plots his revenge.  The fisherman, who is clearly not playing with a full deck goes all-out Wile Coyote on this fish.  First, he attempts to "think like the fish."  He abandons that approach in favor of a more direct approach -  a stick of dynamite.

The film is amusing from beginning to end, but a small twist at the end ties the whole things together quite masterfully.  The use of music emphasizes the whimsical nature of the film, and the cinematography is aesthetically pleasing.
"Olav Zanger is a solitary fisherman that seeks revenge on the 'Dimpled Chin Schlock Fish', a psychopathic creature that leaps out of water and rips his eyeball off."
