Lazybones

Running time: 81 mins

Is there a proper way to do anything these days? Ben is an extremely laid-back young man. He spends his days between driving for Uber and hanging out with friends; by night, he is a stand-up comedian, using his personal life as the raw material for the jokes. Occasionally, he will meet a girl who charms him, but somehow, he fails to pursue the romance any further. As he goes through this routine day after day, Ben begins to wonder, "Is there more to this life?" Full of moments of existential contemplation and self-realization, Lazybones is an authentic and sweetly charming ode to getting through the day, the ups and downs it brings, and the countless events of trial and error. – Joseph Morales Preceded by the short film: SwiPed; dir. David Chai; USA; 5 min.
