An official (on time) submission for the 48 Hour Film Project 2009, San Francisco. One of 70 teams to compete in this year's event. Claude Green is a man who wants it all and will do whatever it takes to achieve the american dream, whether that means spending money he doesn't have or taking prescription drugs to satisfy his shortcomings. Through a series of six vignettes, Claude expresses his consumeristic tendencies in pantomime, and becomes the victim of his own desire as the central character in a progression of television advertisements - which ultimately drive him to his comedic demise.
