"Burnt Toast" is an experimental ghost story that resurrects legendary British comedian Tommy Cooper, who famously died mid-performance in 1984. Combining artificial intelligence, analogue VHS, archival materials and a trained impersonator, the film follows Phil, an unemployed magician trapped in the decaying home of my late schizophrenic uncle. Phil’s hallucinatory act delves into themes of social class, identity, mental health, and delusion, punctuated by his trademark jokes and failed magic tricks.
