A twisted fairy tale with a hint of Edgar Allan Poe and a dash of Edward Gorey featuring the vocal talents of Claire Foy as the narrator. Made during the lockdown of 2020. From the corners of a small room, comes the story of Derek and his Brick. Derek is Isolated and torn between the love of his pigeon and a beautiful damsel. What is a hermit bachelor to do?


Juror comments: Clever and twisted tale drawing on both Edgar Allan Poe and Edward Gorey.


Well executed imagery, excellent narration and I love the acting. The makeup adds a lot of fun to this also. This would be perfect for a festival for older teens and perhaps some tweens. You really need to watch it to appreciate it. It's a collage sort of montage, with delightful visuals.


I give this 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. Reviewed by Julie S., KIDS FIRST! Adult Juror.
