In 1995, Canadian ad agency Palmer Jarvis, asked Under The Gun Films to make some sort of short opener for the national advertising award show, The Lotus Awards. With a sub-$3000 budget, the final product was a great deal more than the agency had been expecting. Mark Masterson and Scott Barrett write, co-produce and co-direct. Scott also operates B-camera, build sets and miniatures, performs stunts, and edits. Dean Hannas directs photography.
