"TIFFANY GETS REALLY MAD"
A SHORT ANIMATION
No one wants to see how mad a girl can really get.
Tiffany is a kid whose life is filled with the usual doldrums of middle school when incrementally, these small irritations pile up and she explodes in a brilliant, vivid, violent, rampage. She destroys almost everything, including her own life, before she realizes that life is a precious thing and that no matter how awful things get, there’s always a way out.
