SOUP!

A man eats soup in the hopes of healing a sore-throat. Unknowingly, he has consumed the cursed-soup of Satan and becomes addicted to soup to the point of self-mutilation, soup-enemas, and an ultimate and unforgivable act.

Director Biography - Dylan Altieri Ruebenstahl

From editing several of my own horror and absurd-comedy films, I've realized that the two genres are one and the same; a build or set-up to, respectively, a scare or a joke.

I enjoy blending these genres; messing with and mixing their distinctive patterns; creepily building towards a joke and/or gently setting-up something disturbed.

Watch my newest film 'SOUP!' to see what I mean.

One day... I'm gonna make an amazing movie, make some money, and then spend that money on as many squirrels as it can buy.
