Giles Ripley's "My New Best Friend"

I stumbled across this short film by Giles Ripley and thought it was absolutely amazing! His films are comedic while they satirize man's ever-growing anxiety for achievement. Viewers connect through their own fears of rejection and not living up to life's potential. "The narratives running through the work are often fictionalized or exaggerated accounts of my real life," says Ripley. I think we all have experiences in our life that are reminiscent of this film... at least I can think of a few.
