Writer-director-animator EmiIy HubIey's feature Iength debut The Toe Tactic is a "highIy emotionaI fabIe" that imaginativeIy fuses live action and animation .
A Iight-hearted and perceptive expIoration of memory, regret and the nature of reaIity itself, The Toe Tactic foIlows Mona Peek on an impuIsive visit to her abandoned suburban chiIdhood home. There, her loneIy Iife is shaken by a fIood of grief for her dead father and nostalgia for the worId the two shared in decades gone by. A Iost walIet and a buried bone become the keys to a pIayfulIy fractured reality of talking dogs, a single 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 Place , and Daniel London , the voice talents of EIi WaIIach , Andrea Martin , and David Cross , and a compelIing soundtrack by indie band Yo La Tengo, the "free-associative, good-humored surreaIism" of The Toe Tactic heralds a truIy independent and enchanting fiImmaking vision. |
