Director(s): Robert Nelson William T. Wiley

Release Date: 01 Sun, Jan 1967

The Off-Handed Jape is an afternoon’s lark made by Nelson and his artist friend William Wiley. The two men perform whimsical actions and poses for the camera, then recontextualize this imagery by improvising their own commentary on the action at a later time. —Andy Ditzler.
