REMEMBER THAT VIDEO of strangers kissing for the first time?

The one that either made you cry or puke?

Well now there’s one of strangers slapping each other in the face. (Well, some of them might kind of know each other).

I gathered acquaintances, friends both casual and close, paired them randomly, put them in a void, and asked them to hit each other in the face. No one was pressured, and everyone was hit as hard as THEY asked to be hit.

The director also appeals to people to “go beyond the parody for the full story of what happened, and be sure to watch Point of Impact”.
