Red

I remember seeing this expletive-laden short in the early nineties and being thoroughly entertained. It was obviously done on a shoestring budget (about half of it is literally a series of still frames). However, even cutting it some slack for limited resources, I don't believe that it holds up very well.

What begins as a fairly amusing premise - a crank caller making a series of phone calls to a New Jersey bar - before long becomes a bit tedious. The legendary Lawrence Tierney (Reservoir Dogs) plays Red the bartender. When it switches over from still shots to live action its budget restraints are only emphasized.
