great short

I saw an early unmixed version an loved it, I hope to see the full mixed version soon. Craig Borders does a great job of story telling. The movie is raw and gritty, it sets a compelling mood and has some great comedy relief.. The acting was good and casting was well done. The sound track fits the mood and tenure of the movie. The scenes were well thought out and let the viewer emerse themselves in the movie. The characters are believable and interesting. It is easy to identify with the plight with the main character as well as the supporting roles. The ending has a great twist and I didn't see it coming. Craig Borders is an accomplished Director, an is a natural story teller. I recommend it highly

Idependent film making at its best

Who was the director of photography? I've been to all the festivals and this was one of the better looking films. Craig must of spent a lot of time with the Director of Photography to capture such stunning images. Craigs a genius up and coming director! This is what independent film making is all about. I really enjoyed Brandons wonderful performance also. Another rising star Craig as found as director. Brandon was really put through the ringer in this role. Their were a couple of bit actors that stood out also. David Durando and Chris Conatey. Small roles, but brilliant! One can only hope that Craig keeps the magic of this team together and comes up with another film to shoot. Hopefully the next one will be a feature! Nice work guys and gals of "keeping up with the Jonesers"! Great fun!
