Matthew Frost is the filmmaker behind delightful satires like Lizzy Caplan's send-up of pretentious hipster clichés. Now, he's getting a taste of his own medicine, thanks to a tongue-in-cheek profile on him and his work.

Frost's portfolio also includes short clips starring actresses like Cate Blanchett, Jessica Chastain and Kirsten Dunst, poking fun at contemporary pop culture—namely, what happens when a general obsession with Hollywood meets everyone being glued to their smartphones all the time. The new video lifts various techniques from his films, analyzing and deflating them as it turns the camera on Frost to discuss his life, which consists largely of waiting around in dog parks and failing to throw himself a birthday party.
