Massage Vest

From the Archives • Comedy, Short Films, 10-Dec-2024

While waiting for a delayed bus, a woman kills time in Downtown Brooklyn and is confronted by her dependence on a brand new massage vest. Victoria Pandeirada’s “Massage Vest” is a telephoto comedy observing the peculiar behavior of a woman who is newly addicted to shoulder and neck relief. When the overworked vest loses power, she doesn’t hesitate to ask her fellow New Yorkers if they’d lend a helping hand. Running less than five minutes, the film is a showcase for the physical comedy of the filmmaker herself, Victoria Pandeirada. -JM. Director: Victoria Pandeirada. Cast: Victoria Pandeirada, Alex Senti. DP: Johnny Frohman. Editor: Alex Sovoda. Colorist: Duncan Byrnes. Original Music: Simon Hanes.
