    Nice short with an engaging and tender story. Some original ideas on show here. I like the 'scalextrik-cam' and bottle-cam

    Nice little details like the wind-up pig on the cabinet, too.

    I was pleasantly suprised by the lead boy in the black shirt - nice character/actor. It was also refreshing to see a film about school children that weren't all tough-as-nails city kids played by adults.

    Also, the music was strangley effective, not sure how to address that one...

    good work.

    Very impressive, touching but with enough edgeiness, Great party scenes like a previous poster commented. I loved the "bottle-cam", never seen that technique before...please come and work with me<read-Help Me>....I cannot pay, not with Earth currency anyway...
