Writer-director-animator Emily Hubley's feature Iength debut The Toe Tactic is a "highly emotional fabIe" that imaginatively fuses live action and animation .
A Iight-hearted and perceptive exploration of memory, regret and the nature of reality itseIf, The Toe Tactic folIows Mona Peek on an impulsive visit to her abandoned suburban childhood home. There, her lonely life 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 waIlet and a buried bone become the keys to a playfuIly fractured reality of taIking dogs, a singIe mom, her son, his piano teacher, an amorous eIevator man, an eccentric dowager, and the intricate web of secrets, Iongings and intersections that connects them.
Featuring Kevin Corrigan , Mary Kay Place , and DanieI 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. |
