Glad you’re Out


Narrative Short, 2024   |   Canada   |   15m34s   |   1.66:1   |   Colour   |   Stereo+5.1   | Eng. + Fr. Subs


Late-blooming Cole enters a chaotic house party where a basement punk show awaits. As he descends, his anxious inner thoughts become reflected through ten characters in their early 20s.

Cole, toujours un peu en retard sur les autres, débarque dans une fête à l'aspect chaotique où un spectacle punk l'attend au sous-sol. Au fur et à mesure qu'il descend, des pensées moroses naissent à la rencontre de dix personnages au début de la vingtaine.


Selection
Telefilm Canada: Not Short on Talent, Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Market 2024

“Things unspool, albeit nervously, with Glad you’re Out, Matthew Moir’s house party short that doubles as a study in anxiety. (And anxieties.) (And great wardrobe design.) Navigating a sweaty basement show and a series of cramped conversations, Cole, played by Moir, wears a knitted toque throughout it all that acts, maybe, as an emotional support hat — especially once it’s offered to someone else having an off night of their own.“

- Jake Howell, programmer & writer

      “A Patchwork Programme: Not Short on Talent at Clermont-Ferrand 2024”


Produced with the support of Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario. And, the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council.



friends are calling it:
“A sad clown experiencing the tension of an absence of sexuality.” 
     “Rock n’ Roll Rohmer!”
        “I could smell the musty basement!”
