Brief Explanation

The film features an irate wrestler driving a school bus full of children. As well as the children testing his patience, everything and anyone who crosses his path gets on his nerves – sending him into an ever mounting rage. Whilst watching this unfold, the viewer has the opportunity to also actively participate. By using the pause button they can help “catch” a Snickers for the hungry character and turn him back to his normal, bus-driver self. A constant flow of Snickers run across the bottom of the screen from right to left, passing the Wrestler’s constantly outstretched open hand. If the viewer manages to time the pause perfectly when the bar passes his hand, they discover a still-image of his normal self.
