A step in the right direction.

This "film" is interesting in that it was shot on video and is presented in black and white.The videography looked good, however, and it did not get in the way of the story. It has a film noir feel and reminds me of something I would watch on late night television, mostly due to the limited foley sound, probably a style and budget choice. I caught myself guessing what would happen next, as if I could guess the whole plot line, which is a sign that my interest was held throughout the film. It was good to see an independent film that focused on the story line and used what was available to the filmmaker to tell the story. This is not a high budget film, but it is a step in the right direction for small, shoestring production companies.
