Mo & Bert

Mo & Bert

Two commercial actors in L.A. navigate awkward social interactions and problematic behavior. Whit Conway directs “Mo & Bert,” a buddy comedy centered around ethnographic stereotypes. Mo, a middle-eastern American, and Bert, a Latino-American, arrive at a commercial audition. There, a receptionist assumes them to be a food delivery worker and a landscaper. The assumptions continue to the audition itself when Mo is asked to do a Osama Bin Laden accent and Bert to wear a sombrero. When the two buds go to a bar later that night, they face an additional round of stereotypical conjecture, ultimately prompting them to stand up for themselves on a stage. The irreverent film tackles the comedic tropes and deliveries of our day and the fixation on cultural categorization. -JM. Director: Whit Conway. Written by: Carmen Christopher & Bardia Salimi.
