CGiii Comment

Technically, it's pretty damn good.

The dialogue and performances gradually become less and less convincing....and, the ending goes a little too far to be deemed plausible.

The(ir) Blurb...

A young man brings home a sexy stranger and realizes the spark they are feeling in bed might be something special. As the night progresses the young man begins to think that there may be more to this encounter than he had thought. With This Ring is a 13 minute short film that takes a dark look at gay marriage. This is the tale of one man's realization that the dream of eternal and lasting love may be nothing more than a shot in the dark. Paying homage to Film Noir, With This Ring explores the perceived notion that equality means joining the ranks of the mainstream, who not only have the right to marry, but also have the right to divorce; and with divorce comes a whole host of unexpected consequences.
