We squeezed a seven-minute plot into the three-minute contest limit. I agree... it could have been clearer.

Hopefully we'll learn from our mistakes and do better next time

After Effects.

No originality here. Sorry guys. Total rip off of "The Kid" with Bruce Willis!

[NRProductions00]

Really? That's funny. I've never heard of that one.

I liked the technical aspect of the movie, but didn't really get the story. Good job though.

[TomySky]

Good job with the technicals. The "noise" in the sound came in and out, which was distracting. Layering a little ambient noise from the car running would help smooth that out.

I'm not sure where the story goes from here: I gave up big dreams when I became a Chrsitian; I let God drift out of my life; now I need to regain child-like faith. Fair enough (except for the dropped dreams bit), but now what? I want more! I'd love to see the sequel when it comes out. Keep it up! -Luke
