Maybe it's crass to review a film you made, but I hadn't seen this in years and it's still fun and somewhat creepy.
3 of us improvised the whole thing in 6 hours while progressively drunk on schnapps, and it's one of my favourite filmmaking experiences.

Pig facts! 🐖
88% of pigs in the UK are killed in gas chambers, where they burn from the inside out.
Piglets under a week old routinely have their teeth clipped, tails docked and are castrated, all without anaesthetic.
Pigs are among the most intelligent mammals on the planet; as such, they display a wide range of complex behaviours, like being able to play video games, understand human instructions and even use tools.
Pork is carcinogenic and cancer causing, according to the WHO. There are many healthy meat-free substitutes.
