Fed up with her roommate’s incessant shopping and hoarding, a girl takes matters into her own hands in this comical take on vlogging and the art of co-habitation.

Inspired by found sound of a shopper’s vlog, nourished with Saturday morning cartoons, and produced as part of the 10th edition of the NFB’s Hothouse apprenticeship.

A testament to our disposable and superfluous society! Why don't we appreciate the things in life that are truly valuable? Why waste money on crap? Love the animation Stephanie!
