Yeah it was nicely done. Cool effect when he falls, real and shocking ending. Can see someone didn't get the idea behind the film though...

Well executed concept! Keep it up!

raw gripping reality feel
10/10, enjoyed the simplistic day out
having a chat, to end in tragedy.
respect to the creators

Typical man, he DID tape over the wedding... Heehee! Loved this, very well done, natural, which is hard to do.

Brilliant,original and witty, with a neat twist at the end. The perfect marriage of form and function. Sad to see that the director has passed away. I would certainly have looked forward to seeing what he would do next.

A great idea for a black comedy short that was wonderfully choreographed in one take (well aside from a few little cheat bits and bobs near the end am assuming). I would agree in part with Phil Hawkins comment that the girlfriend's delivery of the opening lines was a bit stilted but certainly didn't detract from the whole piece. It's a great idea, wonderfully set up and (mostly) naturally played with a great denoument, the final scratchy merge into what was previously on the tape gives the piece a delicious sting that ties in with one of the opening lines (am trying not to give the game away here in case anybody reads this before watching this piece). I'd disagree with Mr Hawkins about not entering it into the comedy category it's obviously black comedy all the way. Great budget film making, I look forward to the next one!
