Gosh

Inspired by the 'Nope' (Jordan Peele) and 'Apocalypse Now' (Francis Ford Coppola) Gosh is a short film about an socially anxious and depressed clown, Sublime, who loses everything and finds solace in an online community. Cyberlight, a desk lamp with a mischievous side, tries his best to initiate some connection with Sublime in the only way he can: peddling smut. Kiffe, a moderator of the community, deals with his dark past by suppressing his most disturbing moments of moderation. Oh, there's also the looming threat of aliens. Gosh is a love letter to the films that inspire me and a film about dealing with intrusive thoughts and grappling with change. A large portion of the dialogue is taken directly from topic titles and posts within lending to the surreal nature of the film.
