ENGLISH SYNOPSIS :

‘THE NEDS LEVEL’ IS A COMEDIC EXPRESSION OF WHAT NEDS CAN DO FOR PUNTERS, SENDING SLIGHTLY DAZED BUT VERY HAPPY PEOPLE INTO A NEW LEVEL OF EXCITEMENT AND POSSIBILITY. OPENING WITH A PUNTER PULLING OUT HIS PHONE, THE FILM THEN FOLLOWS A VISUAL METAPHOR AS THE PUNTER SHOOTS THROUGH FLOOR AFTER FLOOR OF A SURREALIST BUILDING.

CRASHING THROUGH EVERY FINELY-CRAFTED SET-UP SEAMLESSLY CUT TOGETHER WITH IN-CAMERA EFFECTS UNIQUE TO EACH FLOOR, OUR HERO SERVES AS THE VEHICLE THROUGH WHICH WE CAN EMBRACE AND APPRECIATE ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES THAT NEDS CAN SERVICE PUNTERS. NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, OR WHO YOU ARE, YOU CAN ALWAYS PULL OUT YOUR PHONE, AND THERE NEDS WILL BE.
