"Ad Hominem" is an experimental short that plays with the anticipations of its audience. Part parable, part slice of urban Americana and intentionally fragmentary in its narrative, the film follows six individuals who share an anomalous lineage that is not quite clear at first.

Trivia

The film was shot in two six hour days. The two main groups of actors (the couple and the trio from the car) shot their scenes on different days. In fact, the crucial scene where the Seth character is looking at the Nadine character from across the street, also wasn't filmed on the same day.
