STRESSLAND: Status Quo of Liberty (2026)

In this lost gem from the 1970s, Nathalie Grantstein flees her war-torn village and lands in America, only to discover that freedom comes with a deadly shadow. Her estranged husband—a brute who abandoned her years ago to climb the ranks of New York’s Prohibition-era mob—is lurking in the same city. With nowhere left to run, she hatches a last-second, razor-sharp plan to sever their ties forever, even if it means shattering every moral code she holds sacred. This short was born from Eric André’s creative dare: to craft a film inspired by his fictional album, *Film Scores for Films That Don't Exist*.
