I agree.

Embarassingly TRITE!
-
hell of a job, well done, scenes evocative enough to warrant to poem
-
The HUSTLER shirt is a nice touch.

i feel like kevin from the wonder years is trying to do david berman....love the poem...my favorite!
-
A great idea to make a film out of this poem--though aren't some parts of the poem left out? Maybe parts that would have been difficult to adapt to film. I don't find the poem cryptic at all. It's just a quirkily clever poem that thwarts the reader's expectations. You never know what's going to come next.

this is read much too quickly, was really disappointed
-
I appreciate what your trying to do with bermans wonderful poem which we all can relate to in one way or another. But I think your approach was too much a literal re-enactment of a cryptic poem. Please, don't tell berman about this. BTW, start smoking cigarettes or something because your voice doen't do the poem justice.. just some constructive criticism, you want it right? aspiring obscure film maker

No relation that I know of. He was just a friend of a friend who let us use his office to film in. Glad you enjoyed the short!
Best,
Hugh
