Yep not a problem.

style over substance.

Theres plenty of substance in the full film. I made this preview to showcase the style of the film and give people a general idea of what it's about.

The full version delves deeper into the story and characters.

I thought this was great. I also like to read noir also, and found there is also a video "Noir Naiton" here on Youtube that is very interesting. It looks like they publish Graphic novels as well, and will reach the e-pub audience on Kindles, Nook, iPads etc. Their Facebook page looks interesting, too.

I wanted to love it or at least like it but the actors killed it, their presence on screen felt like they were constantly aware they were in a film and lost all realism for me. I know its just a small film and what not and not to expect fantastic actors but thats what ruined it for me I couldn't concentrate on the narrative and was more focused on their small facial movements and and blank stares to avoid the camera. Forgetin the acting the direction was pretty good and some good shots very nice

Good film. I share some of the same complaints with the other users... but one thing that bugged me; if you pay close attention to the style of tarantino, then your music use would had been more appropriate. You abused the hell out of your soundtrack.

It's the silences before the explosion of manipulation that makes his films so good.

Good work.

Hey guys looks great. I saw this on the Scorsese IMDB board. It reminded me a lot more of Sin city though. Anyways, good job just a couple of questions: What kind of camera did you use, and how did you spend the AUS $2000? was it mostly props and stuff, or equipment rentals? Let us know where we can see the complete film.
