Early on in the production of VIDEODROME, David Cronenberg and his crew shot several short video sequences that were later excerpted in the film.

The original full-length, five-minute short film from which that clip was taken is presented here for the first time unedited. Shot without sound, it is accompanied by commentary from cinematographer Mark Irwin and video effects supervisor Michael Lennick.
