In the sharply comedic short film "We're Not Them," a simple suburban dinner party spirals into a hilarious crisis of identity and aspiration. Directed by J. Wilder Konschak and Stirling McLaughlin, the story centers on a group of friends, including Fayna Sanchez and Sara Fletcher, who find their casual evening upended when an uninvited and unsettlingly perfect couple, played by Michael Paul King and Meg Swertlow, arrives at their door. These polished interlopers claim to be the new, improved versions of the hosts, sparking immediate insecurity and rivalry. As the night progresses, the original friends are driven to increasingly absurd lengths to prove their own worth and uniqueness, blurring the lines between who they are and who they desperately want to be. This witty eight-minute comedy, written by Stirling McLaughlin and J. Wilder Konschak, delivers a brisk and relatable satire of social comparison, where the central conflict isn't about escaping a monster, but about outshining a seemingly better reflection of yourself.
