Welcome to The Skipper Social Quarter Hour!

The Skipper Social Quarter Hour is a project I've been developing in my head for years. My name is Brett Schutt, and I am an independent filmmaker. In the past I have made films that have exercises in trippy surrealism. One of these films, called Walter's Wonderland, was a nightmare odyssey through a fictional show called Walter's Wonderland based off a PBS syndicated show in a similar vein to Walter's Wonderland, you can watch it right here!

This film got acclaim for being a unique vision and I continued to come up with ideas on how I could further expand on the ideas of making something look and feel like a television broadcast. That is when I came up with a The Skipper Social Quarter Hour- a show where the host could interview the weirdest people and creatures from all walks of life.

I had discussed the idea with my friend Alessandro Bonaiuto, and when we got stuck last year in Orlando Florida during Hurricane Milton, we decided to write the script and start making the project. The script was making us both laugh as we read it- so we decided to start showing it to other people who all agreed we needed to get the film made and now we are on the journey to make that happen!

IT’S BOWTIME

The Skipper is a television personality who likes to collect the strangest guests to talk to, from all walks of life. Creatures like The Mothman or Dick Cheney. In trying to contain a quarter hour of quality television, things go arise as his broadcast is interrupted by video commentators and a man who kidnaps everyone he suspects is a werewolf.
