Coming Out

Looking down the list of Horror shorts showcased by LGB film makers at the Soho Horror Film Festival,I was intrigued to notice one starring Godzilla (!), which led to me witnessing a Kaiju come out.

View on the film:

Subverting the monster image of Godzilla, the screenplay by Julia Durr joyfully unveils Godzilla's support for trans rights via the monster roars from 'zilla being revealed to be a loud noise,which behind it lays a quiet, loving creature.

Wisely staying away from CGI, director Cressa Maeve Beer brilliantly uses stop-motion animation and stop/start movement of toys to build an atmosphere of child-like innocence to the love that an older Godzilla displays,when a young Godzilla comes out.
