I haven't seen very many live action shorts outside of the occasional one on IFC, but this is definitely the best one I've seen. The story starts out simply enough, with two brothers trying to save their farm with the help of a "financial consultant". Once the title character gets going, however, it takes a dark comic turn and slowly builds up steam before coming to an unexpected and deeply moving ending. The accountant himself is a conspiracy theorist and his ramblings provide a great deal of entertainment. To engage in an understatement, Ray Mckinnen has proved himself to be a genius and I sincerely hope that he manages to break through into writing or directing feature films. One sees in this movie the potential for its maker to become one of the greats and ultimately one leaves with the impression that that is exactly what is going to happen.
