Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of 2010s micro-shorts exploring toxic masculinity through mundane activities. The darts metaphor—precision, distance, hitting targets—mirrors how men often compete rather than communicate.
Director Peter Faint cast himself as Frank, reportedly to ensure the character's unnerving stillness wouldn't be overplayed. The entire film was shot in a single afternoon.
