Bad Service
Genre: Comedy, Thriller
Country: U.S.
Subtitles: No
Rating: PG-13
Runtime: 6 min.
Director: Hannah Macpherson
Producer: Rachel Hroncich
Website : Hannah Macpherson
Synopsis:
A desperate woman being chased by an unseen assailant stumbles into a coffee shop looking for help. When approached by her, the manager falters, unsure of how to proceed, while his colleagues whine and interject: the woman may be a threat or simply a bother, but she’s nothing they want to handle.
The resulting scene gets the attention of a lingering customer, and together, the gathered group ignores the woman’s increasing anxiety, preferring instead the fun to be had by documenting her pleas, assessing the truth of her claims through apps and online tools, and bonding over their rejection of her tale.
These are people for whom the iPhone is both sword and shield: they record her cry for help, screens up towards her, faces passive. Life’s just easier this way, right? Watch them watch her, watch what happens.

Synopsis:
What do you do with a body in the woods, and only minutes before the big game?
Carl and Franz are all ready to get off work and go and watch the big match against Austria when they make an unwelcome discovery. So, deal with it, or make it someone else’s problem?
Written and directed by German director Peter Baumann, BORDER PATROL is a succinct dark comedy with a sharp dose of horror for good measure. Set in the beautiful alpine woodland of Bavaria, it’s a paean to all that’s banal about that unique rustic world, and a satisfying comedy of power politics between its two protagonists.
