The Man Who Needed a Traffic Light

Mark JenkinUnited Kingdom20036 min

One of the Bait director’s earliest shorts is a nightmarish vision of life spent behind the wheel, where time melts and car becomes prison. Despite its low budget, The Man Who Needed A Traffic Light sews all the seeds for Bait, and shows the vision in progress of one of Britain’s most exciting filmmakers.
