Sometimes a project comes along that beams with so much creativity on paper that it is hard not to envision the endless possibilities the edit will have to offer. Teething Problems is the perfect example of this, a short movie where the line between the grotesque, absurd and hilarious is tread very finely but most certainly not lightly. A Frankenstein-esque montage about fake teeth will then cut to our protagonist’s confrontation with his dead wife’s mother and then to the Tooth Fairy chain smoking. Maintaining tone consistency in the edit was essential to the movie’s success and it was achieved from a history of analyzing and obsessing over such shows as The Twilight Zone and Lars von Trier’s Riget.
