Take some time out of your busy working day for a film noir classic!
Detective Cisco is hired by Mrs Packet to find her missing husband. On
the way he meets different routing protocols who help him along on his
journey until he finally tracks down Mr Packet, and in the process gets
more than he bargained for!
A film made in 12 days and 12, even longer, nights.

This film was written and created in its entirety by 2 Network engineers
Samuel Stickland and Warren Cogswell. Both of these guys work day-to-day
with Cisco equipment and have both recently passed their CCIE written
exams. They were asked to produce a short film to be shown at a company
presentation with a brief to have technical content, while taking a
light-hearted approach and so Detective Cisco was conceived. The script
was written (and furiously re-written) in a just over a day and filming
began in earnest, while still making time for their day-to-day job. What
you will find on the website is the final render before the piece was
shown, which was finished just minutes before it was due to be
screened. Sights were aimed a bit higher than the timescale allowed
for, but it still hopefully made a cohesive story (with a vertiable
shedload of in-jokes for techies!).
So we proudly give you Redistribution, a labour of love and we hope that
you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.
Sam & Warren.
