A short created by a student for the 2004 ACMI Diegesis secondary school media festival.
This work depicts an animated character, Barry, bored with commercial television. He happily accepts a video game sold to him by an overzealous door to door salesman. Barry becomes enraged when he finds that the game does not work and complains to the salesman the following day. Barry has made a big mistake…as the psychotic salesman stalks Barry and a violent tussle ensues in the dead of night. Barry finally finishes killing the salesman…or has he??
