this is really good, just as a recommendation, work on the script. And when he started dancing it was a bit of a joke. It started out great though, Also, the requime for a dream song is a little over used so it sort of backfired.

@jilijub thanks for that :) it was my first film (made about 10 years ago). From conception to completion was about a month and it was mostly to get me into film school. I agree about the music, but to my credit, Requiem for a Dream was only about 2 months old at that point, so...in context i'd say it was hardly overused at the time. Please check out my newer films where I could afford original music for them, like 'The Courier'

thanks again, and glad you enjoyed. My work only gets better :)

the music is actually from Requiem for a Dream. It's by Clint Mansell and the Chronos Quartet. It's all amazing. Check it out.
