Although this film is far from the type of film the mainstream would produce, I really like it. The first half made me think it might not be bad just because the audio drove it, as opposed to the image, but it was interesting enough to continue. When the audio ended and the image continued, I was engulfed. There's a real and honest tone created to it. It's exellence. It's hopeful. The images are poetic. I can almost understand why we end up looking at images on a TV screen that has no knobs. It fits. I don't have anything else to say except excellent work! Keep it up!
A seven minute semi-autobiographical monologue of a man recalling and explaining an answer given to a friend in regard to a question about life. This dramatic short is visually gorgeous. The powerful poetic narration sends a strong, touching inspirational message to the world, and it does it all to a hauntingly beautiful melody. "Philosophical substance" is truly at the heart...
