I Have a Secret: Another Bite
2019 · 2m · USA
Directed by Michael Sime
Tones: absurdist, darkly comic, humorous
A would-be villain confesses a single, magnificently dastardly secret — a two-minute animated comedy built on the tension between self-regard and banality.
Picked by Felix
The scouts
Two minutes, one villain, one secret — the constraint is the joke and the joke lands, which is harder to pull off than any twelve-minute thesis film.
Two minutes, one character, one secret, no resolution — a single-premise comic miniature that knows precisely how long it has to live. Modest, earned, and the right runtime.
Two minutes, one character, one secret, no resolution — pure economy. The kind of single-premise comedy that either lands in one beat or doesn't, and Stephen Malinowski's organ playing is a charming flex.
