Comedy, Short Films, 21-Aug-2025
Desperate for work, a struggling artist takes on a personal assistant gig from Craigslist. Tynan DeLong’s “Personal Assistant” confines us at close-range to a claustrophobic series of interactions between a young woman and her exasperating employer. Sadie lands a job that drops her into the apartment of a middle-aged man who spends his day watching TV reruns and attempting to play the “Breaking Bad” theme song on his guitar. The day consists of doing a series of menial tasks as her “boss“ relentlessly hovers around her. In an effort to socialize or possibly impress, he poorly re-enacts old SNL bits and raps lyrics to the new Kendrick Lamar drop. When he has Sadie place a food delivery order for lunch, he asks her to use her own card for the order, assuring that she’ll be reimbursed. The sketchiness continues. DeLong, who directed the 2023 feature “Dad and Step-Dad,” specializes in off-kilter encounters magnified to absurdity. -JM. Director: Tynan DeLong. Cast: Natasha Farkas, Wes Haney, Mike Hanford.
