POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT - GUSTAVO ASTUDILLO (2024)

Written by Morgan Nalley and director Gustavo Astudillo, Positive Reinforcement is a black comedy that takes a minute to understand what's going on. At least, it took me a minute. It presents a world where negative thoughts - that nagging self-doubt that most of us suffer from - are manifest in the form of masked doppelgangers, whose sole purpose is to inflict physical injury on their original self. Ronald, a struggling musician, is in a bad place and particularly liable to negativity, which means he is getting repeatedly attacked by his doppelganger. The only person who seems immune to such physical assaults is his beautiful neighbour, despite her being in a wheelchair.
