Boggy

Overview

An abandoned car. Dangerous spiders. Unrequited love. And hundreds of blackberries. In the heart of her childhood bog, Anita invites her best friend Jill for a “camping sleepover.” But things are not what they seem as Anita neglects to mention traumatic events from her past, and some secrets are unwilling to stay beneath the surface. Told through a video-collage compromised of a live-recording from a 2021 reading—with layers upon layers of B-roll, animations, and puppetry — Jonah Barnett’s “Boggy” is the cumulative work between the author themself and twelve different artists.
