HomePage
Overview
The then unknown Jennings and Andrew Larbi made a little film called One Cold Eskimo, which aired on the television series Takeover TV, produced by World of Wonder for Channel 4 in the UK. Takeover TV was a show that invited viewers to send in their curious, weird, or dumbfounding videotapes for possible airing. One Cold Eskimo is all of that.
