"Quirky and memorable with a hilarious performance from the lead" - One-Reeler Short Film Competition

The Jameses had forgotten when they entered their short film into the Close: Up San Francisco Short Film Festival, that the entry fee included a review of their film. They had entered over a year ago, and forgot about it after their film was not selected for the festival. Then suddenly just before the end of July this lovely review showed up in their inbox. They absolutely agree with their final statements, because they had never initially intended it to be for film festival viewing, so are the first to admit the film quality was low, but that was also part of the point for them. They wanted it to be a simple story, that didn't provide the meaning of life. It was a fun escape for them, and they made it to simply entertain the audience in the few minutes that it ran, so that everyone could have as much fun as possible during that time. And they are SO happy their review seems to indicate that was the case!
