I will never be homeless

This short was done for the indietalk.com film contest(and won the Judges' Award) they had back in May 05. The rules were really pretty open and they gave you 6 weeks to get a short 5min or less film finished. So I decided to do something really different and try a turn for the serious part of storytelling. I have never done anything like this short before, but I've always wanted to do something that would make people really think and appreciate what they have. I hope you enjoy the film.
