Serve and Protect

Strange things are going down at the Bailey farm in this deadpan short film. A pile of mysterious crates requires some serious detective work. Small-town cop Darryl Kitchen (Roy Snow from Go Girls and Shortland Street), ably assisted by best mate Brian and a stash of sandwiches, is up for the challenge. Officer Kitchen's dedication to getting his catch includes a chase that could be used in police recruit videos. Serve and Protect won audience choice awards at both New Zealand's Show Me Shorts Film Festival, and Nevada's High Desert fest — among the 16 festivals it was invited to around the world.

Probably get a medal for this. Maybe a plaque.
