Erica Anderson Plastik Studios (silent, 1950s)

This eccentric and fascinating film showcases the artistry of creating molds and replicas at Plastik Studios, likely intended as a promotional piece for potential clients. It features a variety of casting techniques, from molding hands for bookends to creating detailed head replicas. The highlight is a female model undergoing the meticulous process of having a mold made of her face and hair. The sequence is both bizarre and captivating, as the paste-like substance is applied to her head, including her hair, with surprising ease and precision. Despite the seemingly invasive procedure, the model emerges unharmed and composed. Shot in vivid EastmanColor, the film carries an unconventional charm and offers a glimpse into the quirky world of custom mold-making. A must-watch for its unique subject matter and odd allure.
