Vincent Gargiulo’s Fantastic

San Francisco-based writer/director Vincent Gargiulo was in Duluth in 2013 shooting his short feature Duluth is Horrible. A segment from his next feature, Vincent Gargiulo’s Fantastic, was also shot in Duluth. “I Found Myself Stuck in an Experimental Film,” featuring Kat Mandeville, starts at the 4:55 mark in the embedded video above.

The segment was featured on Perfect Duluth Day in 2014, but appears here to show it in full context.

Vincent Gargiulo’s Fantastic is a parody of Disney’s 1940 animated musical Fantasia, with “balloon men, crazed composers, horny history teachers, poets trapped in experimental film clichés, talking donuts, medieval knights, the Hawaiian Wizard of Oz, and other things” set amongst classical music pieces.
