I remember you from triggerstreet. These punk wannabees with their fancy hd cameras and dollies should take a look at your stuff and see what real storytelling is. Great short elmer!

@jnberger I remember you, too. Thanks for watching!

I like the poem. Very existential and it touches someplace. I also do like that exterior shot that permeates the film. However, I do think that panning could've looked a little smoother. Just a thought.

@TSDT Thanks for watching. Yeah, I should've put a smooth filter on it.

Bravo, Elmer! I can relate to that. The music really helped with the mood as did the sound of the rain. I like all of your films - I think this will be my latest favorite.  :-)

Have you thought about trying Clorox Cleanup on your sink? Just sayin'. :-P

@SeaMowse Hey, thanks for watching. And finally, someone mentions the sink.;)  As I said in a post below, I was surprised no one had. The stain was from pouring out the water I'd cooked beets in that night, I could have easily washed it out with a couple swipes but when I went to shoot I started laughing and rolled the tape, f*** it.

@progressiveleftpress Hey, John, thanks for watching. Ain't heard nothin' yet, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a good while, those big networks are like the Queen Mary, they don't turn on a dime.

I like it elmer, more the second viewing similar to a poem. maybe part of your rage was first sparked by fear of being a rent check away from homelessness yourself. maybe you, like me in the past and others, are a rent check away from losing their place and sitting in that guy's shoes or then exhausting friends and family before sitting in that guy's shoes. just a key sentence or two more like that would really make this more powerful for me. john p.s. any news on your mother video airing?

@greengrasscat Hey, thanks for watching, I'll tell my clothes closet you said they're cute! ;) I'm surprised no one mentioned the ugly sink. It's usually not so bad, but I'd cooked beets for din din, pouring the water out and leaving a stain, I could have easily washed it out but when I went to shoot I started laughing and rolled the tape, f*** it.

elmer, brilliant. its kind of funny and cute how neatly your clothes hang from their hangers :)
