Jim Hosking making what might be a branded short for an Australian agency but bringing his full Greasy Strangler energy is the most interesting creative tension in this batch.
Hosking's Greasy Strangler grotesquerie compressed into a five-minute branded piece — the liminal art-film-as-ad space is fertile ground for his deadpan absurdism. Slight by his standards but unmistakably authored.
Jim Hosking (Greasy Strangler) making a five-minute thing for a Sunday Gravy ad — liminal space between commercial and surrealist short. Hosking's voice is real, but commissioned constraints can flatten him.
