Quotes
Brody: I think I'm in hell, Austin. I think I died, and I don't remember... and this is hell.

Alternate versions
The original cut of the film (which screened at Dances with Films, Freedom Film Festival, Ocean City Film Festival, and Annapolis) contained over fifteen minutes of additional footage - only in the fim's opening wedding sequence. The original sequence was 25 minutes long, and featured a great deal of character exposition. It also ended with Brody punching Scott in the face at the receiving line. The cuts were made to bring the running time down into a marketable length, and because audiences were proving anxious for the "disappearings" to begin.

A second chance. Or, much more. The torments, the pleasures of storytelling.

See this film! A good story. I liked this food for the soul, finding a way embrace faith...inviting a peek at life, loss and redemption.

Also, a writer's torment struck me overall. I enjoyed this story for its glance at the process of storytelling - the intrigue, the wonders, the torments, the pleasures that may challenge a storyteller. And to forget not our moments; some unfold unnoticed like the blink of an eye, some oh so rich, each an opportunity, a collective perception waiting to be molded into colorful, ever-fluid puzzles.

The sometimes tormenting processes in turning our collections of moments into alter visions with the ability to let go your creation and move on.

I disliked only the pace during the first half or so, in combination with some minor clutter or excess as we "meet" the film's characters throughout the introductory wedding party scenes (of 'Ghosts of Hamilton Street').
