Playback Is A Bitch tells the story of The Roller, a musician struggling to find the middle ground between a talent that's mercurial and an industry that's merciless.
An official selection for the Toronto Short Film Channel Festival, the South Film and Arts Academy Festival, and Indie Short Fest — as well the winner for Best Director at the 2020 Short To The Point festival — Playback is a Bitch follows Sax's full-length indie debut, Platinum Rush. It also marks the latest milestone in a cinematic career that has found Sax creating video content for everyone from Lucinda Williams to Malcolm Holcombe.
