Short Film: Pursuit of a Jigsaw (2022)

Synopsis

Benjamin awaits his marriage, and he seems surprisingly unhappy about it. He’s afraid of losing his individuality and becoming a “Jigsaw” person. This sounds ridiculous until we see his co-worker, who has already undergone this “Transformation.” His fiancé, Mary, doesn’t seem completely overjoyed at the prospect either.

Commentary

Maybe, just maybe, this couple isn’t ready for marriage.

There’s a lot of commentary here about being part of a team, part of a marriage, part of the world, and how terrifying and terrible that all can be. The makeup/masks are effective and make it clear what’s going on.
