CGiii Comment

There is talent here - visually it is really rather beautiful.

The lighting in parts is scrumptious - that's the first 10 minutes and then it changes into a normal low-budget gay short.

There is imagination and Graham just needs to cast off the film-school clichés and then, perhaps, he will make something of merit.

A good beginning nonetheless.


Trailer...
