INDUSTRIAL ANIMALS ** UK 2016 Sam Mason-Bell. 65 mins Co-writer / director Sam Mason-Bell also takes the lead role in this grim mockumentary, portraying the elitist documentarian who, with his equally loathsome cameraman (Thomas Davenport) sets out to capture on film three days and nights in the life of prostitute Tamsin Howland.
