@Sapphronful pres-ti-dij-i-tey-shuhn!

You wouldn't have been thinking about Bresson's Pickpocket while making this, were you? Nice job, by the way.

[MrThisoldboy]

@PotatoPerson88 Yes, I took a lot of those movies into what we did here. I took a lot of influence from Pickpocket, Breathless, and Bicycle Thief as well. I did some interviews for the release of the film that deal with how I came up with the subject matter. I could upload them later I guess...

[PotatoPerson88]

@MrThisoldboy I figured. I just finished up a film class and we watched Breathless, Bicycle Thief, and bits of Pickpocket in class, and I saw hints of a lot of the stuff we talked about in this.

@PotatoPerson88 Thanks I really wanted to have that French new wave style come through in this.

I know we haven't spoken in a dog's age (literally), but David, this was quite good! I'll pass it on to everyone I can. Very impressive :)

A wonderful short, an inspired concept brought to the screen through great writing, acting, cinematography, editing, and music. Incredible what happens when a core group of artists and craftsmen collaborate with a common vision in mind. Job well done.

@MrThisoldboy Jokes aside, this was excellent!
