Dupe
Scotland
A super slacker buys a cloning machine in an ingenious attempt to get out of doing his own housework. But the clone doesn’t fall far from the copy machine, so to speak, and he finds himself in charge of a brood of equally lazy selves in this slacker comedy. Chris Waitt directs himself, and himself, and himself in this technically impressive short comedy. Also starring Danielle McLeod.
