As Y2K approaches and apocalyptic paranoia hits a fever pitch, Abbie (Joshua Burge) has but one objective: he’s finally going to conquer a legendary level of PAC-MAN and he won’t be leaving the couch until he’s done so. Punk auteur Joel Potrykus (Buzzard, VIFF 14) takes this living-room-as-Lifeboat concept and runs with it, anchoring his slacker protagonist in place as civilization crumbles around him and rampant absurdity rises in its place. "A masterpiece of depraved ’90s nostalgia."—IndieWire
