TAPEWORM | Comedy, Drama | 16mm | 78 min

A loosely interconnected group of nobodies trudge through their pitiful existence.

——

"Directors Milos Mitrovic and Fabian Velasco create a vibrant anti-comedy bathed in the drab beige hues of Winnipeg. Tapeworm is an understated multi-narrative showing us pieces of lives of an ensemble of quietly sad characters: a lackluster comedian, a hypochondriac cuckold, an empty waitress, a loner stoner, and a disconnected couple all breathe a silent sigh of dissatisfaction with - everything. Alex Ateah shines as a palpably dull comic, taking bad delivery to a new level. But amidst the grey, the beige apartments, the sad pink carnations, the secondhand panties, and the disappointment is a bright, warm humor."
