Politicians hate this one weird trick: counting.
A mockumentary-style short film that humorously follows political science students debating whether math has any real place in their discipline. Through chaptered banter, fourth-wall breaks, and satire, the film exposes the uneasy but unavoidable relationship between numbers, power, and political truth.
Writing
Whip-smart banter that roasts two disciplines at once — chef's kiss.
Direction
Fourth-wall breaks land like perfectly timed eyerolls.
Director
Ryl Clint Chavez
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Ryl Clint Chavez cast himself and five non-actor students, blurring documentary and fiction deliberately.
The film satirizes real debates in political science about quantitative vs. qualitative methodology — it's basically academic Twitter drama on screen.
