Ace animator/visual artist Vernik (aka Revkin) delivers a short, sharp shock of a comedy that thrillingly dramatizes the micro-aggressions that continue to plague interactions between women and men. Jagged but controlled in its visual style, with dizzying shifts of perspective from macro to micro and back, it presents a fraught encounter between a zany comedian and a computer-programmer, who can’t sanction the bloke’s buffoonery. Enter … a fly! (ny)
