Can't stop, won't stop

No pun intended - I think most of us have picked our nose at one point or another. But there is a nervous tick/thing that some can't help themselves and really go for it. Of course that is way gross - so try not to do it in public if you are inclined to do it anyway.

Also maybe piling up that stuff .. not the best idea ... unless you plan to do a horror movie about it. I do think that the movie takes a bit too much time, we know where it is going anyway ... and the sticky stuff does not actually look like .. the stuff he'd take out of his nose. It looks more like food stuff - not sure if you mind ... I reckon it was done out of taste - no pun intended. Anyway, interesting idea., well executed (yes another pun)

I gagged!

Directed and written by Ian Mantgani, Nosepicker achieved the impossible and had moments that made me physically sick, even after all these years of watching the absolute roughest and grossest cinema possible. Well done!

Georgie Freeman (Leo Adoyeye) is a school kid who is different than everyone else and therefore shunned and bullied. His biology teacher Miss Poppy Barun (Abi Corbett). And mother (Bridgette Amofah) are both worried about him. As for Georgie, all he seems to care about is picking his nose and leaving the messy slime under his desk, a habit that gets him screamed at by all the little boys and girls.

You could see this as Georgie being neither black nor white and lost in a world that wants him to conform to whiteness. Or perhaps he's compelled by the creature that he has created, a sickening mass of boogers and snot that comes to life while he sleeps and gets the horrible revenge that he can never achieve while awake. Either way, this is an uncomfortable yet great short.
