Set in the 1940’s and filmed in black and white; this dark comedy chronicles the life of Joseph Smoot-Nibbley, a decent man struggling with his indecent desire for feet. Hidden below the city streets from a society that shunned him away, Joe tells his own story of love and rejection.
Love Is Afoot! is based on and adapted from the international award winning short film, “F.” The film noir comedic short was honored top prize in 3 of the 8 Festivals entered.
The movie won the adoration of Tom Schiller, acclaimed Saturday Night Live writer and director from 1975 – 1990 saying, “I was fully revolted by this black and white masterpiece which I enjoyed very much. Great look, wonderful actors – the locations were dead on and the photography was great. Fine use of cinema noir idiom. Plus – perfect music choices.”
