WORM CREW is an animated short about two unnamed friends. In a neon-soaked city, they embark on an unforgettable adventure. It’s an average weekend night and the city is alive. Like most nights, the two friends decide to get up to the usual, speed their car through town, listen to the radio, and spray some tags under the bridge.
