Damsonfield Library
This comedy short, an extract from a pilot written by Alex Bertulis-Fernandes, is a mockumentary set in a struggling community-run library. Desperate to raise funds to keep the library open, the staff host quirky events. In this particular scene, one employee takes the stage to perform an awkward, cringe-worthy poem that leaves the audience in a state of disbelief and quiet horror.The short serves as a sharp satire on how some individuals, oblivious to the realities of others, often make important issues about themselves, adding a biting layer of social commentary beneath the humor.
