    An excellent first work for Thompson.

    I was extremely satisfied with this small budget film. Thompson's vision with unique characters and interwoven ironies reflect the emerging talents he has to offer the film world. I can't wait to see his next film. I highly recommend this film to all who are film buffs and/or aspiring directors.

    Todd Thompson shows a lot of promise!

    I must say that Todd did a great job with this short film. Considering just how many characters are introduced in this film, it runs quite smoothly (with great direction)........ it was very enjoyable to watch. It was especially challenging since this film is based on a short story (extremely hard to fit into a short). But Thompson pulled it off with the skill of a veteran. Very impressive since this was his film directing debut. If it is ever available on video, buy it! You won't be disappointed.

    I'm expecting that Todd will be the next big name to emerge from Florida and take on Hollywood (he recently guest starred on an episode of Dawson's Creek)!
