One Shot (Andrew Bujalski, 2007)

USA, 3:21 min

An unintentional prequel companion to my previous watch, showing the time before the fall into listlessness, when unbound kinder-curiosity ran riot. Absurd to have a credits sequence on something like this, Bujalski, and you probably know it.

9 to 5 (Aaron Katz, 2007)

USA, 8:15 min

A single-shot-short produced by Aaron Katz during the 2007 Northwest Film Forum. Perfectly captures the ListlessLethargicLanguor of being young, white, privileged and annoying in the 21st century. Excruciating. Super naturalistic though, if that’s an end unto itself that prickles your gams.
