The Waddles

A photo plunges Joy (Sophie von Haselberg) into despair. Max (Max Jenkins) convinces her to join him in getting a cosmetic procedure and then hiding away in Palm Springs over the holidays to convalesce. But their friendship changes. Stars Von Haselberg (who you might remember from Poreless in last year's Fun in Shorts) and Jenkins (making his directing debut here) co-wrote this quippy, clever short with Samy Burch and Alex Mechanik, the Oscar-nominated screenwriters of May December.
