I totally disagree with the bad reviews of this short film. It wasn't about a title transfer. The part about the truck was showing the deep sorrow that the one basher had and his need for forgiveness. Okay so the singing wasn't that great, but that wasn't really the point either. The basher himself had his own struggles with his sexuality and he knew that his domineering father and the homophobic town he lived in would never accept him being anything but the hetero jock he was molded to be.

I'd never heard of this or knew anything about it before I saw it as part of Boys Life 4. I was seriously captivated from beginning to end. I didn't really get the dirt eating part but then again I have no idea how I would react to that situation either.

I also thought the acting and split screen was brilliant.

It left me with something I didn't have before I watched it.
