Synopsis

Meet Buck Boom- dynamic, forceful and creative- and a candidate for the job of executive assistant at a staid corporation. There's no doubt in Boom's mind that he's the person for the job, but the question is: can he convince Mr. Mudgin, the personnel manager? For, you see, Boom is a cartoon, and Mudgin is not used to dealing with someone who is "different." Skillfully crafted, using an innovative combination of live-action and animation techniques, this hilarious short film probes stereotypes, prejudices and hiring practices.
