Men With Ties

Directed by Lesley McCubbin

If there were a biblical parable of "the latte", this would be it. This animation, using cut-outs, creates a colourful and mythic world story of men with ties, from space, creating a land of coffee shops, golfcourses and condo's. All is wonderful in the consuming population until pestilence strikes all. It is the oracles and oracle sub-committees that are consulted until the prophet tells the people to cast off their ties. And they do, along with their golf clubs, coffee cups, etc. - and once again all is in harmony...
