Significant step forward for the Bluebox filmmakers

This film marks a significant step forward in the development of Bryan Woods and Scott Beck who, together, make up the Bluebox Limited film-making endeavor.

In this film, Woods (screenwriter and director) and Beck (producer) are able to wed their fine-tuned sense of low-budget production value to sound storytelling. The worst that can be said of it is that, very occasionally, scenes and sequences are allowed to run past their optimum length; most of the time, however, the screenplay is smart, compelling, surprising and satisfying.

The picture also features strong, inventive acting from a young cast.
