EX CRETA - JON PORTMAN (2022)

Created by American animator Jon Portman, Ex Creta is a black comedy focusing on a bored woman who decides a neighbour's unusual dog-walking ritual must mean that he is up to no good and deserves the wrath of like-minded keyboard warriors. Of course, there turns out to be a reasonable reason behind his weird behaviour, and the film is commenting on the tendency of people to jump to conclusions and invite a pile-on in the social media world. It reminds me of the 2017 sacking of tennis commentator Doug Adler, who described Venus Williams as employing "guerrilla" tactics, which caused a Twitter storm after bizarrely being mistaken as a racist comment (despite gorillas not being known for their tactical acuity).
