Short Film: Shiny New World (2021)

What Happens

It’s a corporate training video describing what you should expect on your first day on the job. This job and the coworkers are very unusual, as they operate a very special kind of cleaning service. We focus on Barry, an experienced cleaner, who is going to walk us through one of his typical days.

Commentary

Wow. That was really something!

The prosthetics and creature makeup are extremely well done. The narration, timing, and visuals are excellent. And, of course, it’s all tongue-in-cheek and hilarious as a “training video.”

I would absolutely watch a feature-length version of this.
