A katana-wielding loser fights an ice bag monster and his own brain. Short film, long damage.
Raca follows Nacho, a socially inept katana wielding weirdo as he is sent on a quest for ice from his so called, "friends." While Nacho fails to connect with the anyone on his journey for ice, he's also stalked by a bizarre ice - bag monster. Surreal, funny, and poignant, Raca deals with the having to deal with your biggest enemy: Yourself.
Practical Effects
That ice-bag monster costume is gloriously stupid and perfect.
Writing
Dialogue so awkward it physically hurts — in the best way.
