What seems like an average day on the course is anything but that! When a young caddie named Ron (Jay Maudlin) is fired by his Boss (Lucas Rendón), he must do what he thinks is right as a response to the predicament. Shot, filmed, and edited in 10 days, Disectoid is akin to late night Adult Swim programming and unlike anything you've ever seen.

Summary

Disectoid (2025) follows Ron (Jay Maudlin), a young caddie working what initially appears to be an ordinary day at a golf course. His routine is disrupted when his Boss (Lucas Rendón) fires him, leaving Ron in a difficult and increasingly surreal predicament. Convinced that he must respond to the situation rather than simply accept it, Ron sets out to do what he believes is right, drawing the people and environment around him into an offbeat chain of events. The film’s compact, unconventional story treats the golf course less as a peaceful recreational setting than as a strange stage for conflict, frustration, and personal resolve. Ron serves as the emotional center: inexperienced but determined, he is forced to confront questions of authority, fairness, and how far someone should go when they feel wronged. The Boss represents the immediate source of that conflict, though the film’s deliberately eccentric tone makes the power dynamics feel more absurd than straightforward. Shot, filmed, and edited in just 10 days, Disectoid has the anarchic energy of late-night Adult Swim programming. Its central themes include workplace power, youthful defiance, moral impulse, and the uneasy gap between an everyday problem and the extreme reactions it can provoke. Rather than presenting its premise as a conventional drama, the film embraces surreal humor, disruptive pacing, and an anything-can-happen sensibility, creating an unusual portrait of a young man trying to regain control after a sudden and humiliating setback.
