A short film about disappointment / Joshua Mattson.
In near-future America, film critic Noah Body uploads his reviews to an underread "Content Aggregator." His job is dreary routine: watch, seethe, pan. Faced with writing on lousy movies for a website that no one reads, Noah smuggles into his reviews depictions of his troubled and marginal life. Set in a wildly imaginative and uncannily familiar world of nanny states and extreme rationing, Safe Zones and New Koreas, this is an uproarious story of trying to keep it together in turbulent times written by a debut novelist with a rotten wit and the imagination of a hyperactive child.
