Trivia:
Short movie filmed in New Zealand by Sean Astin during the making of the Lord of The Rings movies using High Definition Digital Video camera equipment that LucasFilm was demoing for Peter Jackson - Astin asked the Lucas Film crew if they could stay an extra day so he could use the camera to shoot his short film. It stars many cast and crew members from the Lord of the Rings films, including a cameo appearance by the director, Jackson, as a bus driver. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When they get on the bus, the painter dumps his tray, roller and brush in the bin, and they sink down inside it. In the next shot, the tray is perched on the top of the bin. moreSoundtrack:

This is a sweet, compact little film about the way total strangers can impact on each other's lives. Coming in at about four minutes and choreographed to the aria "Che Gelida Manina", it involves a simple but heartfelt story, a touch of humor, and puts forth the notion that everyone can have a role to play in the world -- all they have to do is look for the opportunity. I look forward to more work from Sean behind as well as in front of the camera. LOTR fans will recognize many of the faces here, and for those who have the Two Towers DVD, watch the 'making of' featurette on the short -- it is a riot!
I hope this little film met the criteria for inclusion in the Oscar race -- I would be delighted to cheer this to a win in the spring.
