Two park patrons: One bench

When two people arrive at a park bench at the same time, the clearing is not big enough for the two of them. And so begins the savage death match of the century….over a nice spot in the shade. Who will emerge victorious? There can only be one. Because there is only one bench.

Director Bio:

Zac Sultzer is a December ‘24 Cinema Production graduate from Ithaca College. He is a Director, Cinematographer, and Screenwriter that has studied Action Design for his entire academic career, and has so far directed, written, and shot over 20 live-action and animated short films. His work has screened from LA to London and won multiple awards. From creating action figure fight scenes as a kid to filming/editing as the action cinematographer with the DC Stunt Coalition outside Washington, DC, Zac has always had a passion for making action scenes that visualize and externalize socially empowering allegories. While he typically gravitates toward more brutal stories, with Avarice (2025), he tried his hand at slapstick to meditate on the classic question: why can’t we all just be friends?
