Director

Cast

Robert Nelson as Butch Babad William T. Wiley as Dr. Otis Bird

Synopsis

The Off-Handed Jape is an afternoon’s lark made by Nelson and his artist friend William Wiley. The two men perform whimsical actions and poses for the camera, then recontextualize this imagery by improvising their own commentary on the action at a later time. —Andy Ditzler.
