Hi, Friends!

Hi, Friends!

A faithful friend loves to the end.

NR 2024 · 8 min · Comedy

Hi, Friends! is a cringe-inducing short film that takes place in the all-too-familiar present day of New York City. The world is closing in around us, and it’s a battle of wills for who can go the longest before the obvious is proclaimed: we are not OK.
