During this unusual time that we are all living through, I believe it is important to find ways of processing our thoughts and emotions. For me a little comedy is hugely beneficial, as I am sure it is to many others. I think that many people can relate to the inherent humor in the stockpiling of toilet paper during a pandemic, which is why I chose it as the theme and medium for my homemade film. I hope that viewers will find a bit of joy and amusement in watching Two Ply Over The Cuckoo’s Nest during these otherwise unsettling times.
Film Critic Randy Myers Says:
Kate J. Miller’s toilet paper recreation of our SIP realities makes you smile and laugh, and that’s something that we all crave. Every aspect of “Two Ply” — from its coy title to its wild TP animation — ever so perfectly encapsulates what it is like to work and live at home. A perfect Rx for when you’re feeling down.
