Otto Baxter: Not A F***ing Horror Story
We follow Otto Baxter, a 35-year-old man with Down Syndrome, over six years, as he writes and directs a foul-mouthed, autobiographical comedy-horror-musical set in Victorian London. Otto, who has always struggled to explain how he feels, uses his film The Puppet Asylum to explore his birth, adoption and his epic battle with āThe Masterā ā an evil magician hell-bent on controlling his life. During the filmmaking process Ottoās birth mother dies and he finds himself confronting life in the real world, including his future. Ottoās filmmaker friends Bruce Fletcher and Peter Beard help him to bring his vision to life, but also learn more about his unique perspective on the world and how they can play a role in his future.
