    VERY amateur filmmaking...

    Lots going wrong with this short piece. The script has no point the acting is badly directed, the dialog is awkward. Some of the editing choices are decent for a high school production. But this filmmaker obviously has a lot more to learn. Better luck next time.

    Entertaining, good for some quick laughs

    I was surprised to see such great work from a brave film student who decided not to produce the usual 2 minute clip but to actually develop a story with strong characters. The film is not too serious or goofy, it just has a good time examining a situation that many teens have had some version of. The characters work well and provide a lot of comedy to the simple plot. I can't wait until this one comes out on DVD and look forward to Gauger's next flick.

      The title is a reference to Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" but the movie was premiered and initially released as "Driven To Guilt" after a majority vote of the producers decided that Neal J. Gauger's original title was too obscure a reference. Subsequent releases have the title of "The Albatross," as per Neal J. Gauger's idea.
