A couple endures an emotional rollercoaster ride navigating the challenges of love and being separated by miles. Chris Fanelli directs “Long Distance” (written by and starring Jay Weingarten), a brief comedy putting the language of long distance under an immensely awkward microscope. Both comedians but on opposite coasts, Jay and Jill initiate their anticipated FaceTime call. Despite speaking to one another face-to-face, their back and forth seems oddly robotic, almost as if they were reciting premeditated text message one-liners. The feeling is either anti-comedy or jokes written by AI, either way, it’s impressively cringe-inducing as intended. -JM. Director: Chris Fanelli. Writer: Jay Weingarten.
