Short Film of the Day

Much of the trouble that comes in life can be explained (rudimentarily) by Maslow's hierarchy of needs - those who have the privilege of the lifelong promise of a roof over their head and food to eat come up with new issues - ones of identity, romantic longing, and fulfillment from work (and other things of that nature). Thus the trouble in my mind with the rich getting richer, and the poor growing poorer; to fill the non-financial voids, many people, especially those borne into money, desire even more out of their already privileged, special life. It is the simple idea of not knowing how good one has it, which can be applied to almost every single person I know, myself included (perhaps specifically so). Today, I present a silly short film depicting a man at a crossroads due to such an issue - if one loses the use of an arm, how far will they go in their attempts to get things back to the way they were (even if said return to normal is not for the best)? Perhaps the answer lies within today's short: An Arm for An Arm...
