The Story of Red

Rodney Werden

1984, 15:00 minutes, colour, English

TAPECODE 007.11

Red, who has dark hair arranges to meet an unusual hooker who runs her business from a camper travelling down the highway. Red is a posturing positive type who has all the rhetoric but none of the moves. The nameless hooker subtly forces Red's hand and disposes of him without incident. Red seems fated to have a round trip. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
