The latter half wasn't bad, and thought it looked alright. However, the faux film elements in the intro and the 'fade in'/'fade out' text on screen in the intro and outro make it feel way too prententious for its own good. And they just come across as a pathetic attempt to make the filmmaker look self-aware or something. Too many quick edits towards the beginning too, and falls into too many clichés of 'zen films'. Those quick edits take away from the 'zen' aspect of the film also.
Although not part of the film itself, the poster is appauling too. You can see the YouTube progress bar, and the font is too generic.
All in all, as a someone who wishes to create similar films, I have to say this is a somewhat disappointing film, but has enough going for it in the latter half that it's not a failure. It's just ok.
