Log line

The sadistic alter ego of a shy ventriloquist is the interrogator of last resort for nefarious employers and for die-hard black comedy.

Description

A "slice of life" short about a disturbed ventriloquist, Miles, and his alter ego, Mr. Snuggles, whose glib wit is as lethal as his attaché of carving knives. I got to play the both sides of a split personality: Miles is a demure interrogator but the yin to his yang is a sadistic torturer embodied in the doll. Think Magic meets Reservoir Dogs, with me playing a bit of Richard Burton and channeling a bit of Michael Madsen through a doll. Adult language and suggested violence.
