Trump Robs Bank! A robber pulls off his latest heist, disguised as the former U.S. President (shot at a time he was just a former TV show host), then argues with his partner over two of life’s basic necessities: a bit of paper & preserve.
Shot one day and location in LA, a minimalistic setting allowed the narrative’s humor and character dynamics to shine. Writer-Director Steve Ellis expertly guided the leads, ensuring the comic essence of the absurdist short was accurately captured and conveyed.
Starring Rob Riechel as Teddy, Stuart Hamill as Argyle, Julian Booth as Jimmy, and Lorne Fultonberg as the News Reporter.
