Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot on 16mm film while Parker was still at CU Boulder, years before Cannibal! The Musical. The entire budget was reportedly under $5,000.
The chaotic editing and abrupt tonal shifts directly mirror what would become South Park's trademark 'we made this in six days' energy.
