Butt Fantasia By Mohit Jaswal, Short Film Review

Butt Fantasia is a parody film where all of the actors except one are filmed as bare-assed characters. This is not saying they are running around in the nude—it's just their backsides.

I screened Butt Fantasiaas part of the 2019 Slamdance Film Festival (link). As part of their Narrative Short category.

Mohit Jaswal was involved in every level of the production of Butt Fantasia and said, "Its a labor of love for stupid cinema." As such, we are treated to a collection of parody scenes.

The introduction is to the conductor, who with the help of a magical hat contemplates what his butt has gone through (that is the tag for the movie). He starts by conducting some music from Fantasia. Other scenes include Godzilla destroying Tokyo and a firing squad (the blindfolded butt was quite the costume). The scenes are pulled together by the conductor who finishes the film by singing a song of liking butts.

This isn't a short film for all people. It is not risqué, so don't expect to see more than what is promised (and they are not all blemish free). There is a mild shock value to the film and the special effects match with visible wires in the scenes and cardboard box building.

With a subtle sigh of relief, I can say I didn't recognize any of the actors. They gave crack performances and who knows, they may be called back to reprise their roles in a sequel exploring other scenes.

Butt Fantasia is a short fun film for an off centered audience. It is the type of short I would slip into a set that I'm showing to friends to throw them off—a palate cleanser before moving on to a more serious serving.

Butt Fantasia is currently on the film festival circuit.
