Comedy, Short Films, 07-Mar-2024
A tech entrepreneur attends a silent yoga retreat. Charlie Sosnick directs “Silent Yoga,” a slapstick comedy where a cultish yoga event is attended by Zach, a wunderkind founder of a “decentralized finance unicorn.” Along with his unrelenting smart phone, which keeps buzzing due to possibly being investigated at work, the conflict spins into absurd outcomes. The eccentric yoga instructor, a blonde-haired man with dreadlocks, can’t help but notice the annoyance. Ultimately confiscating his phone, the two battle it out as Zach remains persistent to find out what’s going on at the office. With no dialogue, the humor of the film is entirely physical (there’s an extended gag where Zach’s phone becomes lodged in the instructor’s butt) — both the attendee, played by Sosnick himself, and the yoga instructor, played by Ed Malone, are eccentric screen presences and they are ultra committed in depicting strange forms of mania. It’s a slight departure from Sosnick’s previous film, “The Length of your Rage,” but just as endearingly ridiculous. -JM. Director: Charlie Sosnick. Cast: Ed Malone, Charlie Sosnick.
