    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      After being fired, Andrezej puts his fist through the screening room door. This is a reference to Francis Ford Coppola (father of director Roman Coppola) and his short temper. In fact, when the editors get a framed section of the destroyed wall, it is actually a portion of a wall the elder Coppola wrecked in his early directing days.
    • Goofs
      When Dragonfly swerves her car in reverse in the tunnel, there are skid marks already on the ground along the path her tires take.
    • Quotes

      Paul: I just want to capture what's real and honest.

      Marlene: And what if it's boring?

    Interesting Indie film but why "CQ" ?
    I admit I was just going to see this film for the close-ups of my favorite actor Billy Zane because its been far too long since I've seen his face on the big screen. However, the film was actually well done and had an interesting 60's tone which is pulled off very well. But the one thing that bothered me was why the title "CQ" ? It had one brief reference to CQ > seeks you but not enough to name a whole movie after it. Anyway, Billy did a good job and was very entertaining so for all you Billy fans, go see CQ if you can find it playing near you.
