It's a no budget indie comedy starring no one, so my expectations were relatively low (my friend said the budget was like $600 - you believe it by the end). But we ended up having a pretty good time with it.The film is a meta movie that opens with a post production meeting for the film, where we find out the lead actress has withdrawn from the project (which supposedly actually happened, I'll get to that later...). Writers mark kolu and byran demberger play alter egos of themselves chasing after difficult to obtain woman. There's a lot of philosophical musing, a trip to "England" and a otherworldly typewriter.As mentioned before, the lead actress quit, so her face is blurred an audio overdubbed by Anya Keyman. They incorporated it into the script and it fits for the most part, but the seams definitely show. I couldn't decide if i enjoyed the intentionally awkward dubbing and constant references to her beauty or if i'd rather have just seen her. probably the latter, sadly, but what're you gonna get for $600 bucks? kolu and demberger are passable, the supporting cast shines in a few spots.the audio is a little messy ($600...), but there are some decently shot sequences that are memorable thanks to kolu's folksy soundtrack.a good first effort from a young team, worth a rent.

Picked this up on a whim at the local blockbuster video - was pleasantly surprised! The film is very low budget and some of the audio is spotty, but the story is interesting and there's a few laughs. The story revolves around Adam, a writer who falls in love with his cousin-by-marriage and his tragic loser friend. It reminded me a little of Adaptation (2002) in the way that the film your watching is the script that's being written - and the writer can change it along the way. Some of the shots are beautiful - but there are a few rough patches. All in all worth checking out.
