Written and directed by our animator Alex Boatman, The Oystercatcher Catcher is a sponsor reel inspired by the film noir theme of this year’s festival—and Pecker, the official Provincetown Film Festival (PIFF) mascot. The delightful animated story reveals that Pecker is no ordinary fedora-wearing private-eye.
“Gasket took this year’s sponsor reel to imaginative new heights,” says Andrew Peterson, PIFF Director of Production. “Not only does it embody the caliber of creativity and storytelling our festival celebrates, but also it’s a cleverly fun ode to this year’s film noir theme, which we chose to honor the late Evan Lawson, former President of the Provincetown Film Society Board of Directors, who was a huge fan of the genre.”
