Jobe, a mysterious middle-aged rollerblader, spends his days selling drugs to an eclectic mix of downtown weirdos. When he gets the call to make a special delivery to his favorite actor he’s completely starstruck. What starts off as an exciting encounter with an A-list celebrity quickly devolves into a nightmarishly comedic trainwreck when the actor dies and Jobe is forced to flee into the night. Afraid and confused, he blades around the streets of lower Manhattan. Dodging paparazzi, police, a cinephilic doomsday prepper, a disturbed comedian, heartbroken superfans, and his raver roommate, he fights to clear his name - all while entertaining his mom who is visiting from out of town! Jobe’z World is a no-budget descent into the worlds of after hours freakery and existential rollerblading. Starring Jason P. Grisell and Theodore Bouloukos, lensed by Good Time’s Sean Price Williams, and featuring Owen Kline, Lindsay Burdge, Kate Lyn Sheil and Keith Poulson, it paints a portrait of one paranoid, grim, and darkly humorous night in the Big Apple.

"A weird romp about a dude eating stinky fish. Overall a somewhat disjointed exploration of some odd characters. Does come with loads of extras including the director doing a walkthrough of filming locations."
"A film where Manhattan is an important character. Jobe who dreams of becoming a manga artist works as delivery guy of designer drugs. This night he´s pressed for time he´s cooking dinner and has to pick up mom at the JFK and his boss needs him to do some more work. I just loved it, at night every cuity changes and new creatures appear. Life can be a drag sometimes. Highly recommended."
"A true original"
"A wild alternate reality future romp."
"Crazy Movie. Great Slipcover. Nice amount of extras"
"short but fun"
"Jobe’z World (2018), directed by Michael M. Bilandic, is a lo-fi indie dramedy that follows Jobe (Jason Grisell), a rollerblading drug courier navigating a surreal, late-night Manhattan. The film's minimalist style and deadpan humor create a disorienting atmosphere, capturing the ennui of its aimless protagonist. While the screenplay is uneven and some characters underdeveloped, Theodore Bouloukos delivers a standout performance as Royce, a washed-up actor whose encounter with Jobe propels the narrative into darker territory. Cinematographer Sean Price Williams' moody visuals and a haunting score by Paul Grimstad enhance the film's introspective tone. At just 67 minutes, Jobe’z World offers a brief yet immersive exploration of urban isolation and existential drift. It's a film that may resonate with viewers seeking an unconventional, indie cinematic experience."
"Neat little flick with a great slipcover and booklet!"
"A good trip overall. I like watching these unheard gems."
"One of the strangest comedy films I’ve seen in a minute. Follows a drug dealer as he runs into an increasingly odd selection of weirdos, building to a comedically satisfying payoff that perfectly matches its slacker lead."
