The Agony and Sweat of the Human Spirit is a 2011 short film by D. Jesse Damazo and Joe Bookman. It was screened at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival in the Cinéfondation section.[1][2] The film was made as part of the directors' coursework at The University of Iowa. The title is a reference to William Faulkner's Nobel Prize acceptance speech. The film consists of only five shots, each lasting several minutes.
A quiet ukulele player and his talkative manager struggle to realize their artistic vision in a comic story of loss and friendship.
