Thanks two-gunned. I agree its not as good as Fallen Angel or Deviance - cause those movies were shot over 2-6 days each. We shot all this during one saturday from 12pm to 2:30am. But - this is not an excuse - I think if we woulda had more time to spend on it it wouldn't be as good cause we were on a roll once we started - I think that's what made it so fun to watch. This was a one time deal - cause we had no script! If we woulda stopped to rest and woken up the next day and shot some more - we would've lost that spark that kept us going that whole day. When u don't have a script - it usually isn't as well put together - but I was happy with what came out of our improved ideas and like I said it was a one time deal. Thanks about the acting comment - I was very proud of my actors that day. More to come!

I really liked that film, as always some great cinematic touches, wipes, uses of focus, dutch angles, I'm constantly impressed by how you can get these things to work so well. Good acting all round. The Genie guy was great dressed like Johnny Depp in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and wonderfully over the top. The scene where they get drunk was really well done using the stylistic touches you do so well to good effect and I can't help but laugh everytime I see it. It's the story of my life (just with more genies). One of the best pieces of work on here, don't think it's as good as "Deviance" or "Fallen Angel" but it's more fun that both of those put together. 5 stars, and more please.

Yeap it is a good soundtrack - btw this ran at the Underneath Cincinnati film festival last weekend, but it was blown out of the water by a big budget 30 minute gangster movie shot in LA with like 10 minutes worth of names in the credits and things like cop cars, real guns, and a dude jumping off a building (a big building) - for real - with a stunt crew and everything along with a special thanks to the screen actor's guild in the end credits. I'd estimate the film total cost at around 300 grand... We'll see if that one wins, as the votes haven't been counted yet but I doubt it will lose - the audience in the past has voted for the super budget films (even though there's usually only one and it seems completely out of place for a local film festival). It was well done - but way out of the "no budget" league. I give the director mad props though - it was a polished piece of work that will (if it hasn't already) open some doors for him. I wish I could play with 35mm - that would be fun. AJ
