This short film directed by Sam Holst is based on my personal experience working in a Meat Processing Plant during a school holiday as a kid. I told the story to Sam during a Flame booking at Perceptual Engineering, and the next thing I knew he was showing me rushes of the film.

When Meathead was selected for the Cannes Film Festival, I had the honour of joining Sam walking down the red carpet in a fancy suit, and of all the ways to get there, I would never have guessed that a pair of gumboots and a plastic apron was going to be my ticket!
