Experiencing Interruptions?

Fish

Award-winning filmmaker Mike J. McAllister is back with a new darkly comic horror. Former child televangelist Marshall Beckman and devout assistant Kevin Carmode are sent on a door-to-door venture; witnessing and collecting donations for a Christmas Bible charity drive from their local megachurch. What they uncover is a sinister enterprise in the heart of suburbia. But what these twisted entrepreneurs don't realize is that one of their prey is more street smart than they expected.

Director Statement

This is a shortened animated version of a feature length screenplay I've been developing for years. I wanted to make something that, on paper, sounds super dark and borderline nasty, but has a sense of humor and some unexpected heart. And I hope I captured that vibe in its 20-minute counterpart. It's a mix of a lot of genres, and I hope it does for going door-to-door what JAWS did for swimming.
