This short is so wonderfully original and funnier than hell.

Well done!

Very impressive. The acting and comedic timing is pitch perfect. Even though it's obviously an actor's piece, I wish a little more went into the visuals.

I understand that the director certainly wouldn't want to do anything that would distract viewers from the actors and their perfomance. But still, the lighting, ambient audio, and set all feel really flat, like a daytime soap.... but maybe that's actually appropiate for the material. hmmmm.

anyhow. Great work. I can easily see why it won at the Dances with Film Fest.
