John le Carré meets Looney Tunes...

What happens when an inept superspy goes after an ordinary guy?

In the spy-fi comedy short Spy vs. Guy, a spy needs to recover a piece of technology that accidentally fell into the hands of an unwitting pizza delivery guy. He pulls out every technological trick in the book—with increasing absurdity—but just can't seem to win.



Seth Worley wrote and directed this short film for filmmaking software company Red Giant. It's a clever film, filled with cartoonish hijinks.

...more like tedious. Disjointed, cliched, mostly incomprehensible. Complete lack of dramatic narrative.

Speaks to the lack of literacy even among visual artists. For some reason they think they can present an incoherent array of images to portray the thought they couldn't text.
