In this sharp 10-minute comedy from director Jackson Brandt, a routine medical consultation spirals into absurdity when a patient arrives for what he believes is a simple check-up. The film follows a hapless everyman, played by Julian S. Newman, who finds himself reluctantly agreeing to a mysterious procedure called a frontal lobectomy, convinced it will solve his mounting life problems. Alongside him, a cast of eccentric characters portrayed by David Gries, Matthew Dennis, Trevor Hiscox, Jonah Vanderhoff, and Jackson Brandt populate a sterile, bureaucratic world where logic takes a backseat to darkly comic misunderstandings. As the procedure looms, the central conflict emerges between the patient's growing panic and the detached, clinical efficiency of the medical staff, who seem more interested in paperwork than his well-being. The tone balances deadpan humor with escalating tension, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere that skewers modern anxieties about health, authority, and the absurdity of consent. With its brisk runtime and clever writing, this indie gem offers a biting, laugh-out-loud look at how far one man will go to fix his life—or at least, how far he'll let others push him.
