The beginning is much better..., 3 October 1999
10/10
Author: Stephen Eckelberry (eckinc@earthlink.net) from Los Angeles, California

sebcz was right, the beginning was too slow, but we re-worked it extensively, with a new title "Charades" which was the original script title (much more appropriate to the story - watch the movie, you'll see what I mean). Premieres at the Austin Film Festival October 8th, 1999.
