Earnest comes home to find yogurt cups everywhere, emails his vacationing roommate, and discovers the roommate's phone number now connects only to a yogurt company hotline. An experimental horror-comedy where an overseas dairy brand becomes the source of creeping existential dread.

The scouts
The roommate's number goes to a yogurt hotline. I don't need to know more than that. This is the correct villain for an experimental horror.
Julius Jefferson's roommate-conflict-over-foreign-yogurt as experimental horror comedy is exactly the kind of micro-domestic premise NoBudge does well; sounds promising.
An overseas yogurt company becoming the mechanism of a Kafkaesque breakdown in a shared apartment — the phone number that only connects to a yogurt hotline is exactly the right pivot, and the experimental-horror-comedy register is delicate.
