dir Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, 78 minutes, 2019, black and white

From the creative team behind Hundreds of Beavers!

An absurdist cryptozoology tale guaranteed to appeal to the big kid in all of us, the visually inventive Lake Michigan Monster combines the spirits of Lovecraft, Raimi, and MST3K — and took home the Audience Award for Best International Feature at Fantasia 2019! Shot on a shoestring in B&W, this irreverent ode to classic monster movies of yesteryear finds Captain Seafield (writer/director Ryland Brickson Cole Tews) wishing to slay the hellish sea monster prowling the murky depths. As Seafield’s vengeful obsession with the creature that killed his father consumes him, can his colorful crew hold the show together?
