dont know why but some of the people in this are vaguely familiar

@TheLinkinpark50210 We're kind of a big deal.

[DragonWorship006]

are you in college for filming and directing?

[moviemker]

I studied a little filmmaking, but I was an illustration major and my brother was an architecture major. This is more of a hobby for me -- Garrison is interested in acting (and eventually directing) professionally.

awesome video!,I need you to tell me something, was it hard to organize all of ur friends? I mean yesterday I directed something with 10 persons on it was so har to tell everyone what to do, everyone was doing what they want to, I got really upset with everyone it was a horrible day-filming...

"I need you to tell me something, was it hard to organize all of ur friends?"

We've known most of these people from high school so they're eager to help us out and listen to our direction...only a couple of them (Mike Setti as Richard and Garrison Rule as Lyle) are pursuing acting -- the rest just enjoy it as a hobby.

True, dont most of the big stars get mad after success?

[JiminL]

wow, great job! definitely a lot better than I expected (from the thumbnail). I'm surprised at how good the acting is, and just the hole concept. what film school do you go to?

[yutubedeletedme]

Incredible that still there people with this exquisit taste to make movies. The girl who plays Victoria is a great actress, I hope the back of the B&W and the 50's! Good job, dudes!

[TheKyokoSuomi]

was this vid supposed to be stupid?cuz im confused.on a scale from 1 to 10 i personaly think that it is a 0.srry but that is just the truth. oh and on 5:39 to 6:22 was she supposed to be drunk or something?

[TheFaraz181]

wow that was a nice film for something that a few people made.

[XNekoKitaruX]

I think the film was very 50's, the way it was supposed to be. You have to remember that back in that time, that is how acting was.. very enthusiastic and almost a overdramatic feel to it. I really liked this.

[ErisofScorpio]

Hmnn... The make up is quite fitting. Regular make up won't even show much in a black and white film. I love the color and the setting. Although you could have made the sound a bit more coarse for the movie era.

3 stars. The editing is seamless and the lighting is very well done. The soundtrack is a nice match to the film, but it sounds a little cheap. Also the acting is over enthusiastic, the camera work is a bit unstable, and the script is extremely cliche.
