Horrible

I was extremely disappointed after the first minute of watching this film. I've seen his illustrations and thought they were pretty interesting, so I went to check out 2 of his short films at Res Fest. This movie sucked so bad I almost walked out (I should have) but I thought it might get better. The funny thing is is that I usually love boring movies, but this one was just torturously bad. I don't like using the word cliché, but I have to use it this time. Even the girls name- "Alice" (in Wonderland). The interesting thing about the film though, is that it was something that you might have a good idea for, but then you get around to finally executing the idea the vision gets badly translated with the medium being used.
