Hit It is a 24-minute Short Film directed and co-written by Thomas "TomSka" Ridgewell, released in November 2012 as Tom's final project for the University of Lincoln. The film was released after going through a re-filming, as the original version was lost alongside about £3,500 worth of stuff that was in a bag Tom left on a train.The film opens on a man named John about to jump off a building before being stopped by an optimistic man named Matt. After getting John off the ledge, Matt takes him to a bar where John recounts the full story of how he wound up on that ledge. | |

Heroic Suicide: By the end of the film, it's easy to see John's suicide attempt in this light, considering John was being threatened to turn himself in or have Zoey killed and then have himself be hunted down. | |

Once More, with Clarity: Near the start, we are shown a scene of John doing his daily evening routine. After we learn that John's a hitman, that same scene is shown again but with more context. For example, what looked like John washing his hands was actually John cleaning the blood off of something. | |

The Unapologetic: John is not at all abashed in telling a complete stranger about his job as a hitman, and feels/exhibits no remorse in stating that he kills people for a living. When he shoots the guy in the bathroom of the restaurant, he sure as hell doesn't look sorry. | |
