'''Point and Shoot''' is an Action/Comedy short film about a shadowy bounty hunter society on campus. Members can receive contracts on each other, with successful eliminations granting the victor a guaranteed 2:1 or higher in their degree. The society is presented within the film as being without real, physical weaponry and so the film adopts a 'prop-less' aesthetic to match. It pays homages to a number of different films, from ''Sergio Leone's'' '''The Good, The Bad and The Ugly''' to ''Edgar Wright's'' '''Hot Fuzz''' (itself, a send-up of action movies). | '''Point and Shoot''' is an Action/Comedy short film about a shadowy bounty hunter society on campus.
