I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film. From the beginning of the film I was drawn in. It keep me very interested in what was going to happen next. It brought out raw emotions in me. I was happy, sad and happy again. I loved how it ended. Well directed and written. Will recommend it to all my friends.

I found this movie to be very intriguing. The characters drew me in and kept me wanting more. In a good way. The story line was somewhat predictable, but overall a good movie. I don't think I could have done better with the same budget.

Great story line and actors for a zero budget movie. I am not a movie critic so i can't pick it apart, i just enjoyed the movie very much.

I'll dispense with any normal digs that are obvious ones for beta/indy movies: production values, things that coudl have been edited, etc.--but even if one DIDN'T forgive this film those things, it's still an excellent film.

The writing, dialogue, and events are all very engaging. I'd say the only big parts of the film that missed it for me were Mandi Sterling as Calliope (she seemed more like an extra from a sit-com than the Luna Lovegood-like loveable eccentric she seemed to be going for). It's obvious that the viewer is meant to find her sympathetic and endearing, but it's never clear why and I tend to lay this more on this delivery of the character than on the character herself in concept--which seems very "tried and true" in general.

Josh Truax and Norman Newkirk were brilliant! Truax's general detached deadpan humor makes the parts of the film where he actually reacts with passion and emotion that much more satisfying. Trin Miller and Conner Marx do excellent jobs as foils and plot movers.

All in all, this is a very, very watchable indy film. Turn off your evening sitcoms one of these days and watch this instead!

Obviously with a first cut, there are going to be some technical issues (audio mix, pacing, etc). Fortunately this doesn't distract from the overall story. There are a few shots where the boom or a lav mic are visible - probably a simple matter of some time with AfterEffects to fix. Production value is otherwise very high and features some really good Seattle film talent (in front of and behind the camera). The one question I'm left with is: whose story is it? Not sure that Calliope's breaking of the fourth wall adds anything in her asides to the camera,except to take the viewer out of the moment. If it's her story, there's a lot going on with Kirby and his relationships and professional life. If it's his story, there's a lot of her internal monologue going on. If it's about the two of them, then consistency in the camera asides would help sell that (or get rid of them).

Love the premise, love the script, love the talent. Looking forward to seeing how it takes shape!

In short watch it for the acting. Connor Marx is Amazing and Josh Traux does a great job keeping the pace of the film in a very poetic way.
