CGiii Comment

Like a good short film, a well-made independent film can launch a career.

Bad camera-work can be overlooked (a little) when the budget is tiny. Weak performances can be tolerated (a little) when there's no money for professionals...but, when the writing stinks to high heaven...that's when a line has to be drawn.

The poetry is dismal, the dialogue is dire...that's all that needs to be said on this subject.
