DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY:
I would officially consider this as my first short film. I must admit that it has a lot of areas for improvement. I committed plenty of errors such as the 180° cross on 2:56 and plenty of under and overexposed shots. It has a very vague plot, or you could even consider it having no plot at all. Furthermore, as producer of the video, I had little budget with this one. Probably the most costly thing that I did was light proofing my own bedroom for the "film noir" scene. It cost me around $15-17 for the light proofing and black background. That's just around PhP700! Haha! Yet I feel somewhat happy with the final result, of course.

CAMERA A: Sony HandyCam CCD TRV-75 (hi8 analog tape)
