ALMOST, JIMMY

ALMOST, JIMMY is a short parody about small talk that lasts far too long. Inspired by Almost, Maine’s “Sad and Glad,” the film follows a chance encounter between two emotional “almosts” stuck in an awkward loop of repeated pleasantries and missed connection. The story unfolds in real time with cutaway interviews that reveal Jimmy’s inflated confidence and Sandrine’s assured rejection. As tension peaks, the film shifts into a National Geographic–style nature documentary, reframing the interaction as a failed mating ritual. Shot on iPhone with improvised dialogue, ALMOST, JIMMY satirizes ego and conversations that refuse to end.

This short film captures the intricate dance of in vitro transcription (IVT)—the process of synthesising mRNA outside the cell, which is central to our research on mRNA vaccines. Through a blend of laboratory footage and storytelling, it reveals the steps required to bring mRNA to life. Each pipette movement and mRNA quantification echo the balance between science, success and challenge in this process. It highlights the beauty hidden in repetition, and the resilience and team culture needed to overcome the technical failures in this arduous procedure.
