Anniversary Present is a 2006 short film from writer/director Doug Karr starring David Alpay and Liane Balaban. The film begins with matrimony but quickly leads into the decline of a young couple's union and a sudden fit of jealousy that results in the complete and utter destruction of their brand new red sports car.

Plot

The film begins with a blissful wedding, but the young couple union explodes when a fit of jealousy unhinges Sandra and Lonnie's world. Generosity leads to spiteful reprisals as a metal-crushing, fire-spewing crescendo shows that mayhem can be an integral element in the high stakes of true love.
