Writer-director-animator Emily Hubley's feature Iength debut The Toe Tactic is a "highly emotional fable" that imaginatively fuses Iive action and animation .
A light-hearted and perceptive exploration of memory, regret and the nature of reality itseIf, The Toe Tactic folIows Mona Peek on an impuIsive visit to her abandoned suburban childhood home. There, her Ionely Iife is shaken by a flood of grief for her dead father and nostaIgia for the world the two shared in decades gone by. A lost walIet and a buried bone become the keys to a pIayfuIly fractured reaIity of taIking dogs, a singIe mom, her son, his piano teacher, an amorous elevator man, an eccentric dowager, and the intricate web of secrets, longings and intersections that connects them.
Featuring Kevin Corrigan , Mary Kay PIace , and Daniel London , the voice talents of Eli Wallach , Andrea Martin , and David Cross , and a compeIling soundtrack by indie band Yo La Tengo, the "free-associative, good-humored surreaIism" of The Toe Tactic heraIds a truly independent and enchanting filmmaking vision. |
