The Trial of Barnaby Finch (2013)
To swat or not to swat? That is the question an errant fly poses to our hapless hero, Barnaby Finch, at the penultimate moment of his job interview. Filmed in split-screen, the potential consequences of Barnaby's weighty decision ripple out in absurdist waves, cascading toward an unexpected climax in this 2.5-minute metaphysical comedy
Directors: Sorrel Brae, Samuel Stephens.
