Creative documentary DOOZY is the debut feature from artist-filmmaker Richard Squires. Exploring the voice casting of American actor Paul Lynde as a series of Hanna Barbera villains in the late 1960s, animated antihero 'Clovis' re-enacts a number of alleged stories from the actor's life, whilst experts take part in a curious game show and residents from Lynde's Ohio hometown remember the talented star with affection. Through the lens of one of Hollywood's hidden queer histories, DOOZY contemplates cartoon villainy and hysterical masculinity; the use of voice to signify 'otherness' and the frequently uneasy relationship between character and actor.
