Comedy, Short Films, 13-Mar-2025
A drunk girl chats with her Uber driver after leaving a work happy hour. Sari Rae Eichenblatt’s “Third Wheel” comically portrays a scene of oversharing from the backseat. Hannah, a job recruiter, dives deep into the details of what’s currently going on at work, getting very specific about her company’s system for ranking employees, and other co-worker dramas, while the driver says less sentences than she’s had drinks. With its simple set-up and self-contained vignette, the film is carried by the convincingly intoxicated performance of Holmes. We recently featured another Eichenblatt short, "Porch Girl" about a dramatically trained actor deciding whether to participate in a Bat Mitzvah skit. -JM. Director/Writer: Sari Rae Eichenblatt. Cast: Holmes, Andrew Lindh. DP: Ali Arminio. Editor: Abbey Letizia. Gaffer: Matt Kleppner. First AD: Katherine Henderson. Sound: Edwin Li.
