    Existentialism at its best

    At a time when movies are constructed with computer-enhanced images to draw in the viewer, it is nice to see a film that relies on the basics -- quality writing, acting, cinemetography -- and a story that speaks to the human spirit.

    This movie drew me in immediately, particularly emotionally. I commend producer/director/writer Stephen Wallis for an outstanding job and a cast and crew who helped him achieve it.

    I have followed Matthew Modine's acting career and I think this is his best work. In many ways, I think it proves if you've got the acting chops, it never goes away. It just gets better with age.

    It was awesome

    I was fortunate to watch this at a local film festival and it spoke volumes to me as a director myself. I felt as if this was written for other directors to watch. I left the theater fillimg deeply inspired. At first I was unsure. But then I began to listen and understand that this movie has a much deeper meaning and I was honestly caught off guard. If there is any peice of asvice O can give to you it is if you are a filmaker or wish to be part of thos industry you have to watch this film it will leave ypu with a feeling of I have to make something or i need to stop holding myself back kinda vibes.
