"Jungle Jail" is an 8-minute cartoon written by, directed by and starring Stepaschka, whatever that means. He has not worked on another film apart from this one. Anyway, here we have a small, bald, middle-aged man who goes to jail for whatever reason. There he has trouble dealing with the other inmates, but a happy coincidence helps him in becoming not only accepted, but feared by the other inmates. He enjoys this state for sure and even has the previous badass prison inmate on a leash at some point. It's a story of "from zero to hero", but it's neither very credible nor dramatically relevant nor funny. So yeah, all in all a fairly disappointing short film and I can see why the man behind it has not pursued any further projects, at least not under this pseudonym. Not really much talent in here. Thumbs down.
