Writer/director/actor Bobby Miller burst onto the scene with his short film TUB, which was an official selection in 2010 of both Sundance and SXSW. The short's synopsis is self-explanatory: "Paul jerked off in the shower. Paul just impregnated his bath tub." If that description makes you think, "Okay but that should really be a feature-length story," you aren't the only one. Following the success of his short, Bobby began developing it into a feature.
The Master Cleanse premiered at SXSW 2016, six years following TUB. It's a spiritual successor to the short, but not specifically an adaptation; Bobby reaches into the same bag of trips for practical creature effects, with some of the same story beats and structure, while also transitioning into a more serious tone, befitting a feature-length narrative.
No Film School spoke with Miller via email about the six-year story of how he got The Master Cleanse made. But first, watch the short:
