Frank's Joke
Directed by Edward Bulmer · Starring Spencer Brown · 2018
At 3am, Frank lies awake replaying the joke nobody laughed at on his first day, sinking into a looping purgatory of memory and embarrassment.
Anyone who's ever replayed an awkward moment at night will feel seen by this charming puppet-animation hybrid.
Animation and Puppetry film about Frank, who told a joke at his new place of work. Nobody laughed.
