Movie #1384 "Fry Day" -- another short film we saw at the Milwaukee Film Fest, this one very serious concerning a young girl's coming of age. By the end of the 16 minutes, this young, unassuming girl who has been taking photographs of people at $3 a pop as they wait outside Ted Bundy's prison the night before he is to be executed , she is no longer trusting of people --- it's almost a symbol of how the world really becomes after a murderer like Ted Bundy has done his damage to women. We were no longer trusting if someone kindly offered a ride to us, because we learned that kindness was in disguise of pure evil. The film is well done at sustaining the tone throughout. If you get a chance to see it, I thought it was a 5 out of 5 stars. And it was fun seeing a famous actress like Elizabeth Ashley in it as a crusty woman who runs a hot dog stand nearby.
