THE DELICIOUS

The Delicious is a funny and haunting 15-minute short about a corporate drone whose busy, colorless life is turned upside down when he finds a red, polyester suit lurking at the back of his closet. He tries it on, and soon finds himself in the grips of a strange force, something he knows only as The Delicious.

What is The Delicious? It's been seen as an allegory for drugs, sexual deviance, mental illness and more, but according to filmmaker and star Scott Prendergast (who would go on to make the indie hit Kabluey), the short is a more universal statement about being a weirdo. When your own personal The Delicious calls to you, you can pursue it and live a misfit's life, or ignore it and spend your life never being true to yourself.

But the people who never find their own The Delicious? Those are the ones to truly feel sorry for.
