What could possibly go wrong!? Jetlag Pictures has debuted the official trailer for an indie sci-fi comedy short film called
Hell in a Handbasket, the latest from Canadian filmmaker Lee Chambers. He explains that they made this film under the same conditions as the Covid-19 lockdowns… Shot in snowy Canada with actor Hoyt Richards (the world s first male supermodel) phoning in his performance via his iPhone 12 from Los Angeles. The short is about a lonely research scientist in the Arctic struggling to live alone in the cold. But with the world failing from a global pandemic, all hopes fall on Dale s shoulders as he represents the last stand for humanity. The tagline is flawless: It all comes down to Dale… Dale? Ha.

Are you constantly racing to cross items off your to-do list, juggling several tasks at a time, and feeling like you’re behind schedule? Do you get agitated by any impediment, however small, that attempts to slow down your progress? Then you might be dealing with “hurry sickness.”
Hurry sickness is a behaviour pattern (not a diagnosable condition) characterised by chronic rushing and anxiousness and an overwhelming, persistent sense of urgency even when there’s no need to be moving so fast.
The term was coined by cardiologists Meyer Friedman and Ray Rosenman and popularised in their 1974 book, “Type A Behavior And Your Heart.” (At the time, they posited that people with Type A personalities were more prone to heart issues. The strength of that association was later called into question.)
