Nominated for Best Live Action Short 
Carter (Joey Bada$$) just wants to leave his hookup (Zaria) and go home to his dog. But he keeps getting killed by a cop (Andrew Howard) and waking up to do it all over again in a Groundhog Day/Twilight Zone horror show.
The concept works extremely well. No matter what changes he makes, bag - no bag, turn left - turn right, comply - resist, the result remains the same: death. It almost feels too on the nose. But the level of exhaustion I felt watching is approximately one molecule compared to the exhaustion of having to live this roulette game every day.
So, yeah, defund the police, and Two Distant Strangers is currently streaming on Netflix.
