So, there's a man who's in the habit of hitting me on the head with an umbrella.....

  • 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?

  • THIS VID WAS AMAZING HOPE U MAKE MORE...

  • This was great, nice sweet film. It was also in my list because the the umbrella man from JFK. Was glad I watched this though. Keep it up.

  • wtf

  • yeah me too!

  • 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!
