Director Adrian Murray -2017 USA 74 min Bay Area Premiere – Drama / Youth

Broke, basement-dwelling, millennial Aaron (Aaron Keogh) spends his days mostly alone. He preoccupies himself by playing video games, trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube, tending to a dying plant and soloing on a duct-taped Rock Band drum set. Constantly dodging and talking his way out of his roommate’s requests for rent, Aaron is also trying to find ways to pay bills that he can’t afford. When he finds a lost credit card, Aaron decides to hatch a defrauding scheme.

Director Adrian Murray’s first feature film is somewhat of a dry farce that manages to be both entertaining and subdued. Keogh has brilliant timing and a knack for physical comedy as the unhurried and mostly unperturbed Aaron, who fumbles while trying to do the occasional, perfunctory fast-talking and performs antic after antic, like participating in one of those viral internet challenge videos, more messing around on a Rubik’s Cube and a little bit of credit card fraud.- Jennifer Junkyard Morris
