Director: David Broyles
Running Time: 9:42
Genre: mystery, drama
IMDB Page
It takes a while to realize what’s going on in Bar Flies. A man walks into a bar and instead of a punchline gets some of the strangest regulars you’ve ever seen. Subtle and clever, the short is intriguing with strong technical elements and enough mystery to keep you watching if for no other reason than to figure out what is what. Fortunately, the reveal does come and while the short remains strange, its strength is in its ability to completely resolve itself by the end.
