2017 · 6 min

A short, stylized club-set piece that plays like a wry pop parody, building to a blunt punchline.

Directed by: Amanda Kramer
Starring: Noel David Taylor, Anna Cordell, Katy Fullan

Overview: In a nightclub, reminiscent of a 1980s photo-novel, a band is playing requests. The texts play with pop clichés about life and true love. Until a dissatisfied customer can’t take it anymore and reveals the universal truth.
