Mark W Anyone who gets of their backside and makes a film should be applauded. The couple that made this obviously put their heart and soul into it. However, it's not always effort that breeds greatness. This film starts really well - the opening scenes suck you in and you want to know more - but after that it becomes banal quite quickly. 20 somethings worrying about their life, direction and relationships is a often used plot point.. but here it 'is' the plot. The film has the usual micro-budget tell tale signs. Some dodgy camera work, some 'not quite on the money' acting and some quality issues. But, overall, it works in the context of a slice of life in the myspace/facebook revolution.I'd put money on Crumley and co making something big at some point in the future, but this is a public airing of their education really.Well worth a watch, but don't expect a film with this kind of budget to compete with Hollywood.

BobMustgrave I liked this film fine, but I think I like their web episodes a lot better than the actual movie. Maybe that speaks to short form content in the digital age; the movie itself is obviously building towards an ending, a payoff that was sort of a let down, where-as the web content had it's own loose narrative structure that lent itself more to their type of story.Either way, I think the way they released and marketed it was genius. I wish more independent films had the guts to go straight to their fans. I live in LA, and there's 100 new movies playing every weekend, yet I can never find a truly independent film unless I order it on Netflix. And that means I have to wait for months after hearing about it. I lose interest, and then when it comes, it sits on my microwave for a week before I get around to watching it.Filmmakers should premiere at a festival, and then launch DVD, download, and theatrical screenings the following weekend.

L L If this film wasn't about the self-indulgent filmmakers (who are the main "actors" in the film), does anyone really care? After seeing "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints", I think that format works much better, while acting as a biopic, the author/director keeps a safe distance, instead of (in the case of this film), using the ending to "surprise" the viewers with a "this really was our life" cliché ending. The big question that I couldn't answer was ... "Would I care about these characters if I knew they weren't the directors/actors?" I'm fairly certain I wouldn't.The animation and pacing have merits, but the cinematography, done in HD, is spotty at best ... maybe a thumbs up for the first gen of filmmakers, but these days, amateur.If you can Netflix it or see a free screening, it's worth checking out ... but for a fistful of dollars, I'm not sure it's worth the hype.For more relationship/entanglement, I'd recommend The Puffy Chair (Duplass Brothers, 2005), while very Soderbergh/Tony Scott (yes, _that_ Tony Scott), in terms of hand-held, grainy visuals, the story of men, women, and the craziness when they come together, is compelling in a raw, honest, and unpretentious way.That's ultimately the difference ... if this were a raw and honest film, I would recommend it, but it's ultimately pretentious and superfluous.

boo_605 This film may not be easily accessible but should definitely be seen if you have the chance. A great story about young adults that will ring true for many people. Limited distribution will cause a problem for this film but don't let it stand in the way of you seeing it. Get in touch with the filmmakers if you have to. Nothing groundbreaking but it is so refreshing to see people using film to do more than sell tickets. This film has a real heart that rings true in the final product. By the way, I have no affiliation with the filmmakers as many on these boards would like to suggest every time someone really likes something. I just got lucky enough to see this at a festival and I would hate for anyone to miss it if they have the chance to catch it.
