Bagel Intervention

Synopsis

Meredith’s friends take things to the extreme when they try to help her confront her addiction.

Review

3/5
A witty comedy that takes a satirical look at addiction.
Directed by Alvaro Sebastian Gonzalez, from a script by Gonzalez & Thea Touchton, ‘Bagel Intervention’ is a short comedy that takes a satirical glimpse at addiction. A light hearted short that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The cast comprises of Thea Touchton (Meredith), Karuna Tanahashi (Rachel), Nick Santucci (Keith) and Jasmine NaTasha Anderson (Josie).

The 3-minute comedy opens with Meredith tied to a chair – under intervention by her work friends. Rachel, Josie and Keith scrutinize her breakfast diet of a bagel. Satisfied by her love for bagels, Meredith defends herself against the harsh condemnation – played out as if her addiction is debilitating. During the mediation, Josie’s addiction to coffee sparks another farcical intervention. Albeit short and sweet, the film is certain to produce a few belly-laughs. The film concludes with Keith’s own hypocritical dependency – Capri Sun.

Bagel Intervention Short Film
Alvaro Sebastian Gonzalez and Thea Touchton have created an amusing short stemmed from its ludicrous narrative. High praise to the entire cast, particularly Nick Santucci (Keith) – a humorous delivery from start to finish. Visually, the film is professional shot with high quality cinematography and lighting. Music, editing and sound are equally commendable. ‘Bagel Intervention’ is a deliberately fast-paced short that rewards viewers with immediate entertainment. Highly recommended.
