Ravage

While you wait to hear if they'll pay your claim, there is almost nothing like the silent buzz at the other end of the line.

This rough-edged sketch mixing performance art living and film is a study of the phone call, American doofiness, and blank minds under the reign of the corporate call script. Everyone is impotent in the institutional setting.
