CGiii Comment

What a curious film...

One minute...it's a comedy. The next...very serious.

This has aspirations to become a fully fledged feature...now, if that's the case...re-think, re-write and, perhaps, looking at the casting - there is a weak link. Do stereotypes need to scream STEREOTYPE?

There is potential...technically, it's proficient...a little more imaginative direction. Think: Detail. And, get rid of the drag scene.

If it's going to be a satire...the dialogue has to bite...with rabid teeth. Make it scathing, make it memorable.

But...it's a good beginning...

The(ir) Blurb...

Set in a parallel universe where the sexual bias favors homosexuals, Eric, a struggling heterosexual, admits himself into a straight conversion camp. What begins as a cure to his deviant lifestyle, becomes a journey of self acceptance.
