TITO
Tito
Grace Glowicki, 2020
Catalog No.: FTF-087
Length: 70 minutes
Tito is trapped. With long black hair, greasy sideburns, and an emergency whistle dangling from his neck, he is so stricken with fear that he's developed a hunch in his back. Any attempt to venture into the outside world is met with the threat of elusive predators who hunt him relentlessly. Starved for food and security, Tito's terrorized existence threatens to overwhelm him - until the sudden arrival of a cheerful intruder, offering breakfast and protection…
Tito is a vision of predation, friendship, and fear, told through a wildly inventive and expressive new lens.

PRESS
"One of the boldest artistic statements of the year."
-Scott Macaulay, Filmmaker Magazine
“'Tito' is an instant classic of acting. In its physicality, it’s a performance that’s reminiscent of Miranda July’s, in her 2011 film The Future; in its silent howl of isolation, it recalls Dore Mann’s performance in Ronald Bronstein’s Frownland."
-Richard Brody, The New Yorker
"Visionary."
-Eric Kohn, IndieWire
