You are correct. I was open-minded enough (my fortune) to think, Yeah, why not? And I think it worked out just fine. Now, I'd like the money to make a feature film.

Thanks southernoracle. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This was wonderful, so alchemical. First there is the title, "Red Lion". Second, the man is alone with himself in a state of impasse, yet his own Darkside appears to embrace and mark him, just as he is weakened in a moment of despair and self-pity. Unable to understand this all, he ventures out, seemingly stable, dressed in his old personality, undergoes various unsavory interactions with people and his own self in relationship to these people. Finally, alone with himself, light dawns within...

@southernoracle - Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed this film. It was a labor of love.

The title, by the way, is a corruption of what was intended to be the real title, Rebellion. You can learn more about the film on our website jlopen.com. And thank you again for your kind words.

A fortuitous corruption though....

Is there something in this film you didn't understand? I'm not surprised. it uses surrealistic elements to tell the story. Watch it again.
