The 50,000 Mann

This is a tale of the lowest common denominator; of vile men whose corruption and unearned greed are their best qualities. They have no scruples nor compassion nor patience; for theirs is a tale most confounding and abhorrent to human decency.

The 50,000 Mann was shot in February 2003 over two days. Its inception came from a true story Chappy told us about; chiefly that a mannequin in our school had been absconded. I thought it a funny idea to make a random video plus re-create the heist; as I am sure that’s how it went down.
