AJ Jeffries’ short animation DUCKS opens as an innocuous jaunt around a pond and quickly spirals into dark comedy — strange contortions, feathered villains, and consequences that follow logically from ignoring the simple park sign. Jeffries brings the same deadpan visual logic to this film as his earlier work, using character physics and escalating absurdity to land somewhere between Looney Tunes and a public information film.
