A 4-minute comedy about a hostage crisis at a payphone — yes, really, and yes, it works.
At the last payphone in New York, deep in a subway station, a young woman is forced by her captor to call her father for a half-million-dollar ransom.
Writing
More punchlines per minute than most 90-minute comedies.
Acting
Profaci and McDowell sell absurd stakes with straight faces.
Director
Jared Evan
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
NYC removed its last public payphones in 2022, making this a period piece already — the film turns urban decay into comedy gold.
Directors Jared Evan and Taryn Brooke shot this guerrilla-style in an actual working subway station, completing the entire production in under four hours to avoid permits.
