About this submission
I wanted to posit a serious critique of the unequal impact wrought by the pandemic on different communities in the United States, and the insular comfort purchased by the lifestyle of a young urban professional in NYC. I believed this would be most effective if smuggled within something of a cinematic Trojan horse: an ostensibly ironic film with a slapstick-esque title that doesn't betray any of the intent behind it. That way, owing to comedy's broad appeal, those who the film most directly critiques won't self-select out of seeing it, even if their aversion would be unconscious.
