Attended "World Premiere" at Nashville Film Festival. As you know the movie is one continuous shot. Before it played the crew noted for the audience that it took 5 "takes." Dialogue was solid for the most part. The allusions to Shakespeare were ham-handed and a little over the top however. Camera-work was good although there were some white balance problems. Definitely looked like it was shot on video-tape complete with combing artifacts. IMO the film would benefit from video processing to affect a documentary style, cinema verite look. Diamond's part while performed well sounded "canned" which hurt the immersion factor more than the video artifacts. The film shown was presented in stereo. Hopefully sound problems will be addressed when it is post-processed into 5.1. Acting by Alford and Diamond was very good. Overall the film is interesting and enjoyable especially if you like the one-camera-one-take conceit.
