Cool, you're a film maker too! It would be good to make as many connections as possible, in this industry; which harder than it ever has been. If you don't mind sending me your email address, in a private message, not here, then that would be great.

Oh this was utterly delightful! Beautifully edited and lit (particularly the shadows during the "most intimate moments"). The complete senselessness of it all is so fantastic. How did I find this? I was watching innumerable yet addictive & awful films of the JFK killing, and the infamous "umbrella man" was evoked, so I clicked on THIS video ("related videos") & was SO entirely relieved to see something humorous, and LAUGH & forget about the unpleasant JFK stuff. THANK you for making this!!

Thanks for the comment. It's really appreciated. No idea why it's associated with JFK on here but its cool if people watch it. I made this film 6 years ago, when I was at university. Other people have adapted the story too, but I made this in conjunction with Fernando Sorentino, the writer from Argentina. Its funny when people say I stole their idea, as it's Fernando's idea - nobody elses. I just tried to make it filmic. That 'Intimate' bit took 5 hours to shoot & has 3 seconds of screen time!

OMG!!!! What the heck? How come some people are so smart that they can make such a hilarious video!!!

Hey Jamie, Just wanted to say thanks for your comment. That's why I made it; to get comments like that. It's very much appreciated. Show your friends - and if they want to comment too, then cool. Oh, and I just wanted to ask, what brought you to my movie? Thanks again, Lozz.

Is that the building/door that Ringo comes out of, with a new coat, when he's walking the streets by himself in "A Hard Day's Night" at 1:45 to 1:58?

As a film maker myself, I completely understand! Those three seconds were SO very effective! The JFK thing, well, "The Umbrella Man" is allegedly a key "player" in the whole conspiracy thing we so seem to embrace over here - so, that is how people come to find your lovely piece - they are undoubtedly watching endless assassination videos, they see the "Related Videos" column to the right, see "Umbrella Man," & click on it, as I did, & hopefully get a most pleasant RELIEF from the drudgery!
