On the one hand, this is a cool scifi spin on how far someone might go to achieve the perfect life, even if it means stealing it from another version of themselves. On the other hand, it hits so close to home I hate it.

Some really fun, old school trickery to make it look like there are two of the same person interacting. The score really shines, I loved the techno surreal tone of it. There is a beard in this movie that should make all men peanut butter and jelly every time they look at their own in the mirror. Also there is a big ending... thing... that will certainly shock you.

Ok spoiler, my favorite part about this script is how the protagonist and the antagonist switch places halfway through and we're left to switch allegiances. Super clever. Great work.
