Fuck the Lake
A darkly comedic voyage into guilt and irony, where laughter meets despair on the choppy waters of human folly
4/5
- Comedy, Drama
- United States

Patrick McElroy (Tim/Writer) gives a noteworthy performance as loveable Tim. His comical timing and character sincerity makes for hilarious viewing. Huntington Daly and Lauren Bair provide additional humour as his concerned brother and sister – accumulating in a pivotal moment of confrontation. We may follow his journey with a pinch-of-salt, but the characterization and plot are impeccable.
Visually, this short film is of industry standard. The narrative may not take itself too seriously, but its certainly wrapped up to a professional finish when it comes to cinematography and audio. Mockumentary’s can be a hard game to play in short filmmaking, but ‘Alien Guy Tim’ is a masterclass on how it should be done.
The short film couldn’t end any other way. Tim, secluded on a hill with the film crew nearby, is abducted once again – this time he provides the last laugh. A real charming and funny watch.
