what's the piano song being played in the background?

[octopus456]

All of the music was written for the film.

Effective jump cuts and editing in general.

Possibly the most depressing thing ever to happen to me in seven minutes and twenty-five seconds.

In regards to the last comment and the comment regarding Garden State--Hrmmm....watch movies more often. 1st Garden State was so-so (sucked in my opinion)....watch Harold And Maude and see where those filmmakers took a lot of their substance from. (CONT)

2nd, based on Napolean Dynamite?? WTF kind of logic is that? give me at least 5 valid points behind that theory--that is just laughable...I find it funny how any movie that uses dead-pan humor is always related to Napolean Dynamite....the public obviously has been under a rock for the last 75 years when it comes to films.

[malatova]

My point...this short, made-in-48hrs film...cannot be compared to any feature film....have you ever worked on a feature film....little different than 2 days (pre-prod-post). So appreciate a short film like this...and if you can make something better....do it, post it....and let14,000+ people decide how good a filmmaker you are....also go watch some goddamn films and educate yourself.
