"Cornack merges the bonkers premise of the film with a strikingly naturalistic tone, delivering one of the most delightfully unexpected comedies of the year."
"I like to take actors and create an environment that's as realistic as possible, but what's going on in the world is not happening. It's like combining the supernatural with the extremely, extremely natural."
Tyler Cornack's film delves into the Florida Man myth through the story of Doug, a lonely drug addict contemplating suicide. His life changes when he discovers an injured mermaid, which he takes home to protect. This mermaid diverges from traditional portrayals, embodying a more grotesque version. The film combines absurdity with a naturalistic tone, creating a unique comedic experience. Cornack emphasizes the blend of supernatural elements with realistic settings, aiming to find humor in the juxtaposition of the bizarre and the ordinary.
