CGiii Comment

I'm not a Gnome...!

What a line.

This is comedy...done to perfection. Nothing is played [nor directed] for laughs, the laughs [just] come naturally. That's comedic skill.

Genius.


Watch...

The(ir) Blurb...

Short Calf Muscle is an absurdist black comedy about Anders. And Anders is different. But he doesn't know that. Yes, he's also gay, but that's not the point here. There is also this thing that others see but he doesn't.
