Hey guys, thanks for watching. If you're struggling to interpret the meaning of it all, here are a few things to ponder:
- What is the significance of the gold chip?
- What is the significance of the platinum chip?
- What does the Well Dressed Man offer them that "He" does not?
- Why does the Ex-teacher not have a platinum chip?
- In the final hand, on the turn, what does the Single Mother realise?

I didn't really struggle with the meaning. I liked the idea a lot- but I didn't like the acting at all.
The characters were well thought out though.
It would have been better if there were more pauses in it- perhaps cutting a character would have given you more time. Otherwise the reactions were too fast and there wasn't any emotional impact.
SPOILER:
Good editing for the bit where the mum smothers the baby though.

The festival I made it for had a 7 minute film limit and there was a lot (too much?) of story to fit in, making the quick cuts necessary.
Appreciate the feedback.
