I actually saw this in a theater last year up in Springfield, MA as part of a double feature with The Muc of Eric Zahn. Both films were very well done, with The Earth Rejects Him being particularly unique and interesting. If this director can get a bigger budget, I think he can really produce something good. He spoke at the screening I attended and said that Guillermo Del Toro even said he was a fan of The Muc of Eric Zahn short film.

If you are interested by the teaser, definitely check it out!
