Cat Collar 2: One Night In Brixton (2008)

A year on and Oscar dons a newly modified puppy's hoody, with night vision spy camera, for another Cat Collar outing.

The title of the film refers to Paris Hilton's infamous internet video; the sounds from which can be heard in the background of One Night In Brixton. As Ford states, there are similarities between the two: “Both sets of footage are filmed in the dark with night vision, both contain a lot of rustling sounds, both feature a pussy and neither have a climatic ending.”
