The Mages of Rage and The Desecration of The House of Mimicry (23:42)
Film Shortage; IMDb; Jason M. Sheedy; official website; YouTube

This 2022 short film was presented by Alter in 2024.

So there's this punk band that have gotten together to record a music video, but the camera guy is late. They start rehearsing one of their songs, when suddenly a mime shows up and starts attacking them with invisible weapons. It reminded me of You Missed a Spot, which I think I liked a bit more than this, but this was okay, too. Who knows, maybe if I'd seen it first I'd even like it more than the other one. Because part of why I feel like I like this less is because the novelty of the concept has worn off. Anyway, I guess it's kind of amusing. But the more I think about it, the more I think "You Missed a Spot" was better. This is still worth watching, but it's longer than it had to be. And I don't know what else to say.
