THE TALLEST BOY IN ALTON, ILLINOIS

The Previously-Untold Story of Robert Wadlow

worked on this documentary from around september 2022 to june 2023.
i made the entire first act in a few days without really knowing what to do or where to go with it, and i had this terrible feeling
that it was becoming too predictable and derivative of so many different crappy horror aesthetics
but when i make something it's just there now, it's made, it's real and it's incredibly hard for
me to go back and change what is real. so the remaining four acts serve as my own struggle to
make the bullshit that i set up at the beginning of the film make some sense, while at the
same time (hopefully) not taking itself too seriously.
