A hungry agency. No budget. One job at a time. Live-action 1970s spy comedy in 15-second scenes. Extreme grain, anamorphic flare, muted colour, scratches, dust, gate weave. One face per shot. Slapstick only. Don takes the work nobody else will: poisoned mustard, empty lunch pails, factories that test steel for 736 hours, formulas too long to remember, champagne that refuses to pour. The short man calls it training. The permit never arrives. New scene every drop. Same rules. Same ruined print.
