shelf life was made in 2000, its about a man thats won a award for out standing safety, he begins to put on safety gear and safely prepare the area around the wall for him to drill a hole in the wall for him to hang the award. once he finishes preparing everything he begins to drill into the wall, as he forces the drill through the camera cuts to an elderly woman sat in the flat opposite his,she slumps down with the drill piece exiting her head, this film is ironic as the man is very cautious yet he ends up killing someone. this short film uses a set up and pay of delivery which is very common in short comedy films.
