About

This comedic narrative video directed by Matt Aselton explores suburban paranoia and domestic anxiety through a sequence of deadpan vignettes. The montage opens with a newspaper headline proclaiming that things are worse than yesterday, followed by scenes of a man mowing his lawn as neighbours watch cautiously from behind hedges. Further scenes show him navigating everyday life, eating in a car, and waking up anxiously in bed at night. The visual tone is cinematic and deadpan, using controlled lighting and suburban environments to build a satirical mood.
