The Story: Two coworkers have a conversation about the philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.

Production Notes: The script for this short was written in August of 2002. We had just completed “The Last Patrol” and “The Quotient of all Anxieties” and we were ready for a new project. We were inspired to make a gangster flick after watching Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. Andrew came up with the idea of two gangsters sitting at a table talking about philosophy while a third man, their hostage, sat tied to a chair next to them. We thought this was a great opening scene for what could be a really cool gangster film. We even had a name for it, “The Black Tie Affair.” However we were never able to get it off the ground and we ditched the script. Nearly a year later we decided to resurrect the idea and give it a new angle. Just as a side note: what Ezekiel says in this movie does not necessarily reflect our religious beliefs, we just like hate mail.

    Nietzsche was NOT a pessimist. Schopenhauer was. This video is highly inaccurate.

    Obviously not. I don’t think they even bothered to read the Wikipedia page, which I wouldn’t recommend anyway.

    I love how they say “Sartre lived 100 years after Nietzsche’s death.” LOL, that means he was born in 2000! Sartre would be 9 years old!

    This is somewhere between a bad simplistic anecdotal account and no idea of the work itself.

    …and the acting sucks.

    I think you’ve got it almost entirely backwards.

    Did you even study Nietzsche before making these video?

    This film might have won a prize as a work of art, but this section lacks basic philosophical sense.
