The scouts
A narcissist filmmaker trying to reclaim his 'clown magic.' That phrase alone. That's the whole argument for watching this.
Tetewsky (Hannah Ha Ha) doing a 19-minute satire of an irredeemable misogynistic antisemitic auteur — Adaptation-meets-Burn-After-Reading is ambitious territory, and the satirical distance has to be exact or the film just becomes the thing it's mocking.
19-minute self-portrait of a misogynistic anti-semitic wannabe auteur, told with enough satirical distance to make you laugh at the appalling thing. Jordan Tetewsky (Hannah Ha Ha) has the chops, but the runtime asks a lot of the satire.
