Jerry the Ginger Eater is a 15-minute black-and-white and color comedy short built around an absurdly macabre premise. Jerry has a bizarre appetite for red-haired women and befriends a sex worker in the hope of reaching her red-haired pimp, creating an intentionally outrageous setup for dark humor.
Connor Storrie wrote and directed the film, which stars Gabe Kessler as Jerry, Bailey Tait as Tweaker, and Kate Gray-Johnson as the Lady Pimp. Its combination of crude comedy, horror-tinged imagery, and stylized cinematography has helped it stand out as an unusual short-form genre piece.
Jerry the Ginger Eater is an independent short with availability dependent on festival and creator-led distribution.
