With all this bad mouth people this is just a short science-fiction movie. I like it. This is just entertainment for a rainy day. This is a great show to watch with out foul language and sexual content that you see mostly in today movies. Thank you for your hard work and having very little funds to work with great job
You're right James, not a major motion picture by any stretch, but still just as good as some big studio B movies that get released. And you have to respect the labor of love, two years doing all the post yourself, kudos bro.
Perhaps not yet worthy of oscar nominations, James Cole and company deserve encouragement. There is genuine talent here and with experience, maturity, and continued hard work, a bright future is in store. Kudos and congratulations!
James - very cool. I actually enjoyed it. Because I read your opener and description I knew what to expect. And this was by far better than other movies I've seen.
I love this at so many levels! I admire the fortitude and creativity of the cast and crew in bringing this story to life. Yes, it is clear that it is "low budget", but some of the best movies are low tech/low budget (and some of the worst overplayed high budget films have been some of the biggest flops). It's a little cheesy in some places of course (my favorite was when it rained but no one got wet!). But yes, definitely a fun little film. Thanks for your passion!
as a film& cinema major I congratulate you for this heroic first effort; I know the enormous work it represents: being done entirely "Indie" makes it barely shy of a miracle! I salute you, sincerely
Limited budget...First film...Ozzie made.. Well done ! At least you had a go at movie making and done well with what you had at hand. Don't listen to the haters, theres always plenty of them in every day life willing to knock whatever you do when they never done it themselves. Take care everyone.
I'm impressed.! And for such a low budget, if you can even call that small amount a 'budget', you gave us a good movie...and your first one at that. Thanks.
It is always so easy to criticise, yet so hard to create. I write sci-fi stories for a hobby, so I can sympathise with the effort required to write a story, let turn it into a movie. For a 10 grand budget, you've done very well
I think this was well done for a first ever movie made..It had a couple of things that weren't perfect, but overall I'm impressed with a lot of other things considering this was your first movie production..Good job
Very good considering the circumstances it was made under, VERY GOOD. 99% of the trolls who diss this are guaranteed to be unable to create something as consistently good to the point you really want to know the story line and can't wait to see what's next, even some high budget films don't have that quality. This was made with 10,000 dollars, and a very inexperienced yet highly talented crew.
Mr. Cole, you are entirely too hard on yourself. This is a splendid first effort on an almost invisible budget, and you have gone on to bigger and better things. Do not let the knuckle draggers in the comments section below bother you. They only havea right to speak after they hqve tried to do the same thing. Kudos to you. Big ones.
Good aliens and innovative weapons, good characters and acting. I really liked it. Always bring a bigger gun than you think your going to need for the ending.

I really like this movie better than hollywood sci-fi propaganda, this movie has element of hope and very symbolic. I am congratulating JC and the others who made this movie. Namaste and may the good force be with us all!
James, I truly enjoyed the film!! Very creative, original, a bit humourous in all the right places, and interesting back-story developement all work to make this film complete. I look forward to watching many, many more works from you!! Well done mate!
Very well done Mr Cole. I have seen movies from experienced peoples that was not this good. This is the second time I have watched this movie; I have really enjoyed the story line (both times) and think you should consider continuing it with a series.
thank you for making this its a little diamond in the rough...for the low budget side of things you pulled it off, the acting is plausible and believable the speceffects are original and satisfactory and the narration and story and direction were also top marks in my book! you deserve recognition for this effort, here's to hoping that your name makes it on the big screen because I know i'll be watching it, after having enjoyed this. I was looking for blender 3d and came to this, what luck!
As an artist I can say that thinking it, then doing it are lessons forward. To experiment and have hands on makes the artist grow. To those with criticism. ...when was the last time you pursued an idea beyond your ability or depth. Thumbs up to artistic expression and those who take the leap...
Don't pay attention to the negative comments how many people commenting negative have ever even tried ....great job keep it up you have the talent now find the money and blow our minds
A good low budget production. Shows imagination to inspire others to follow in your footsteps. Hope to see more shows with maybe a better budget. Overall good job. Keep it up.
The movie may be like a lower budget star wars (considering the $10,000 budget)but I really like it for what is, not what it looks like.I like it, because not only does it bring back old memories of the comparatively worse (graphic wise) than today's memorable films of the 1960's, but it seems like a really great effort for a first attempt at making a film, especially a digital film, with no prior film education. the story is interesting, if a little weird at times, and the acting was not hollywood standard, but this film should be seen as an inspiration to all who wish to make their own films but cannot afford to go to film school.
I just love the way you allow people to skip any adds. I don't skip them all the time but it's good to know that I'm able too if I want to. The movies are great, no one else does it the way that you all do. RUclips is the best I tell everyone and they always come back to thank me for the information. Keep up the good work.
Nicely made and refreshing considering the budgetary constraints. Thank you for your production, I enjoyed it. You have talent, do not give up! Ciao, L
***** Hi James, as I said you have talent and imagination; I encourage you to pursue making videos/movies about a subject that you seem very comfortable with. I was very impressed by your production and support you wholeheartedly. "Go for it, man!" Sincerely, Ciao, L. PS: I was a cinema student in college, so I really appreciate all the work that went into your production.
***** Hi James, you are welcome, but please go for it - we need to educate our kids with other show and presentations than "Jerry Springer, etc..." People like you can bring back the curiosity of youth for the unknown, Ciao, L
Thanks @@genkatqltr8517 I wish I could say that the gorgeous scenery was real. Some of it is but a lot has been created digitally. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏💜
Haha really bad. But I liked it. I have no idea what people are talking about saying the music is too loud. Its only loud on the scenes where there is no talking. I thought it was good. Thanks for the movie. Glad you learnt lots and I hope you enjoyed the process of making it.
Wow, not a bad effort at all! I expected a lot worse and I am sorry for the left-handed compliments. Sure was better than anything I ever attempted and I sincerely hope you continue your studies and gaining experience making movies like this. Best wishes to you and the entire production crew of the movie!
Been great bro. stopped drinking. sober now for over a year. and got back together with my child hood sweet heart. things are on the up and up. how about you. hope you're well. well have to get together one day. you can see all my new r/c. stuff and my new V.R. head set. it's awesome. Hope to hear from you soon. :)
THANK YOU ! This is well done. I really appreciate independent productions. The effort and editing and acting is well done. Is this a single camera production?
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Some of it was single camera but the majority of the shoot was two cameras. We used a mix of DV Cam and Mini DV. Whatever we could get hold of on the day :D
Thanks for your comment curt. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. Unfortunately, there are no other episodes. We just didn't have the money to make them. Maybe one day someone else will pick up the torch and run with it :)
That was actually a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a cheap and cheesy movie, but while it actually was a bit cheesy, it was not cheap. And I don't even mean "cheesy" in a bad way. This movie reminds me a bit of those late 80's and early 90's scifi flicks like Split Second, Omega Doom and the like, which often had a cheap look, but sometime actually were great movies.
***** Furzkampfbomber I'll never forget Trapped In Space, a B-movie from 1995 that I remember seeing once on the Sci-Fi Channel late @ night when i was like 15. It had a permanent effect on me especially cause their use of Tech & realism. Quite impressive for the time. And it really typifies what I'd like my Early Interstellar space-ships should look like. Complete with buttons and all. We've really abandoned tactile interfaces and that nitty-gritty "lived-in" feel of starships. like the Millenium Falcon, a "working man's" ship and no unnessecary wasting of space with a big wide-open bridge.
I really enjoyed this movie! I was constantly on the edge of my seat. I would love to see a sequel. I love your style and there was no cheap B-movie like dialogue. Good acting. Well done!
Nice movie! Considering absence of budget, one can't hire pro actors only. But even so, nice. What I do to get the ambience of 24p panavision 35mm film is, I fix the aperture to 1/25s or at least 1/50, so I get a soft cinematish motionblur (and use a grey filter on the lense if there's too much light), this helps to get rid of the "video-feel". Don't wanna be a smartass, just try to share stuff.
outstanding work James I must say before I read some of the comments I had no idea this was not professionally produced As for the negative people leaving comments I have no idea why I can only guess at the reasons BUT no matter Keep Up The Great Work I thoroughly enjoyed it
Superb! Can't wait to see you collect your Oscar sometime in the NEAR future. Take the criticism and pick the one or two usable comments and let the rest of it go. This first step will have been the hardest and from here it's moving up, out, and ahead. Following a dream until you make it a reality is a rare trait and you have it. Good luck!
This is really very good, it could be remade with todays technology and easily get netflix release, even as a series really, you should look into it, it is better than many of the scifi series, just lacks a pit of modern tech
Thank you so much. Yes I often think how quickly I could make this now with modern technology compared to when I made it. I even recreated one of the effects shots that took two weeks to render and it only took an hour 😐 Interesting idea about Netflix. I'll look into it. Thanks 🙏
Considering that you made this yourself and was able to get people act act for you, this is amazing! I am astonished. I would bet that you learned a lot. I think it is great that you got the equipment to do this. Congratulations and well done.
great potential for a cool series , thanks for this little gem. I can see a lot of talent and time went into this Good luck to you in the future #James #Cole
congratulations to all involved, great to see a aussie sci-fi, great characters, nicely filmed, good story, and well paced, i really enjoyed watching this, looking forward to seeing the next part. keep up the great work. For a film on a budget, you should all be proud.
I hate to see comments that criticize and demean an honest effort at entertaining the masses. After all, you can't please all the people all of the time. I honestly liked the movie. Sure, it's never going to be a Hollywood blockbuster, but it kept my attention to the end. When did everyone become movie studio executives? Some of you act like you are film school professors and know the ins and outs of movie theory. Sit back, watch and either enjoy it or not. Negative comments only go to show how much free time you have on your hands. I applaud those of us with the courage to step out and show us their particular and unique arts. I can' make a movie so I enjoy watching those that can turn their thoughts and ideas into this creative medium. Keep up the good FUN!
Well James, you're going to get criticized both favorable and unfavorable. I wish I could tell you what people had said about my novels. And I haven't been able to publish yet because of money issues. Don't let the negative criticism stop you. I enjoyed your work and I'm really looking forward to more of your material in the future. Thank you for your hard work and the entertainment.
Hi Juan, Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. There have certainly been some entertaining criticisms over the years. Luckily I have tough skin and take it all with a grain of salt :D
Self funded, without the funds & space to build dedicated sets, one has to rely on the generosity of individuals & organizations to use their buildings, simply put you take what you can get, & if an old disused sewerage works, pumping station or refinery has to double as a space station so be it.
It was pretty good considering the year it was filmed, the budget, and your 1st movie. Not many people could have done better with what you had to work with at the time.. And I just got to know- the part of Mayor says played by Keith Harkin. Could this possibly be the Keith Harkin from Celtic Thunder> he would have been 13 at the time & if it is - what time stamp is he in cause I couldn't find him
Thank you James. I enjoyed it, I realize you were on a shoestring budget. You did well, the actors were fine, I know you had to crowbar in any "CGI" and I'm not disappointed. People who gripe about your effort, meh. Let them make their own. Good story. You aren't going to please everyone so please yourself, you gave it a great shot, how many do? Make some more movies sir!
Hi James,, I approve most heartedly on your courage on making this movie, For your first attempt that I am aware of, it is better than a lot of stuff on SYFY(That channel sucks!) I am writing my first novel, so I know how hard it is to follow your dream. Good luck on all of your future endeavors!
good insights. had fun viewing your 1st effort. And the unaccountable hours editing it. a few trolls and back seat drivers BUT your accomplishment stands on stage while others quip & dream of making anything at all. I give an A for effort & an B for making it. Keeps u trying.
great job, loved the bucket cannon. The scene with the destroying the space ship at the end was really nice. Overall, great job for the invesment. sell this thing to cable, they need movies like this.
U're correct aobut ur own movie, and I appreciate what u had to say about it. I would be glad to b able to make something so well without any instruction aqnd withou8t any school or previous work in film. Even so, there is a good story line and the music is not so overwhelming that one cannot hear the dialogue like some practiced 'professionals' do. I cannot stand to watch movies that one cannot see becquse they are too dark or one cannot hear because of blaring music.
annoying I think it's perfectly obvious that English is not his first language. I am always impressed by people who can not only speak another language but make them selves understood in it's written form.
Hi I'm an Aussie. Your movie was wonderful. Thank you in your efforts to keep going. It paid off in this Awesome 😎 movie. Thank you for all of your efforts n the people who helped you get there
Oh, man, I would have thought that RUclips or whoever takes cares of the closed caption text might consider paying someone else maybe even less than they are currently paying to whomever sold them that stupid translation software. The dumbware they use seems to literally translate (even English into English) by ear, meaning the bot translates what it finds in its database to most closely match what it hears. Most of the time it is hilarious. Any sound it does not recognize it proudly announces [Applause]. After one kazillion instances of nonexistent applause, i thought someone would have noticed. Another valuable contribution to a future where no one will know how to spell "you can do a better job than that". Cheers
There was a time I was going to correct them, but then I thought, "that's a big job for a movie no one will watch." So I never did, but now with a few million views, I guess people did watch and maybe I should get around to it. The auto-generated ones are kind of hilarious though 😂😂
Your well come. I like the idea of new original thinkers. If you really look at it, my children listen to the same music I used to listen to. That is because there's not much new and original out there. Also, how many times are we going to re-do Spiderman, Batman, Superman so fort so on. There's not much new and original out there. It is refreshing to see that there's talent out there. I encourage you to continue your work. I look forward in the future to see more of your material.
@@EmpoweringMeditations plz. Make more of these I'm going to subscribe to your channel, p.s. sent movie to my wife she loves it thx.again for a great movie
@@jubill Hopefully your wife loves it as much as you do. Unfortunately, it's unlikely there will be any more like this one. We shot it in 1999 and it took 4 years to finish. So much time and effort, I'm not sure I could put myself through all that again. But never say never right...
Sent your movie to a few friends of mine and they where as thrilled as I was when that saw this movie I've watched it three times myself what a work of art thanks again 👏👏🖒🖒🖒💥💥☄☄🚀🚀🐴🐴🐴
quite enjoyable in a typical cheesy sci fi kind ov way, its worth th 45 mins ov any ones time. Well done mr cole an every1 in th cast an production lookin forward to more :-)
Only one real way to learn , by doing .Good effort ! I see the comments of lame critics below , Let's see you do better , not just say you can do better or post disparaging comments .
Excellent Film saw this a few years ago been hoping to find it again. Ignore the Negative Idiots think there part of the people who have never done anything with there lives, in other words Life's Looser's.
With all this bad mouth people this is just a short science-fiction movie. I like it. This is just entertainment for a rainy day. This is a great show to watch with out foul language and sexual content that you see mostly in today movies. Thank you for your hard work and having very little funds to work with great job
+Rachele Wright-McClure It's funny, I was just thinking "this is like really bad porn but without the foul language or sexual content" to redeem it.
Fair enough. I did have cringing moments but overall enjoyed.

You're right James, not a major motion picture by any stretch, but still just as good as some big studio B movies that get released. And you have to respect the labor of love, two years doing all the post yourself, kudos bro.
Im always right.
For a first production this is actually rather good. More entertaining than the standard schlock that's for sure. Good job!
I think that its a very cool project, and people who dont appreciate it , dont understand what art is ,especially on low budget,,, , Thumbs up FAM

my favorite character is that guy with the fox hat and huge gun. love his ramblings !! nice touch ! Plz make more movies!! much love from Florida
Thank you so much. Yeah, he was my favourite character too. So much fun to write. I could've almost made a whole movie about him :D
Thank you! And well done, keep it up. I like the effort and execution of the project throughout. Looking forward to your next project!

outstanding work James I must say before I read some of the comments I had no idea this was not professionally produced As for the negative people leaving comments I have no idea why I can only guess at the reasons BUT no matter Keep Up The Great Work I thoroughly enjoyed it
Superb! Can't wait to see you collect your Oscar sometime in the NEAR future. Take the criticism and pick the one or two usable comments and let the rest of it go. This first step will have been the hardest and from here it's moving up, out, and ahead. Following a dream until you make it a reality is a rare trait and you have it.
Good luck!
This is really very good, it could be remade with todays technology and easily get netflix release, even as a series really, you should look into it, it is better than many of the scifi series, just lacks a pit of modern tech
Thank you so much. Yes I often think how quickly I could make this now with modern technology compared to when I made it. I even recreated one of the effects shots that took two weeks to render and it only took an hour 😐 Interesting idea about Netflix. I'll look into it. Thanks 🙏
Considering that you made this yourself and was able to get people act act for you, this is amazing! I am astonished. I would bet that you learned a lot. I think it is great that you got the equipment to do this. Congratulations and well done.
great potential for a cool series , thanks for this little gem. I can see a lot of talent and time went into this
Good luck to you in the future #James #Cole
congratulations to all involved, great to see a aussie sci-fi, great characters, nicely filmed, good story, and well paced, i really enjoyed watching this, looking forward to seeing the next part. keep up the great work. For a film on a budget, you should all be proud.
Beginning looks and sounds interesting so I put this on my watch later list. So many movies and the nights just aren't long enough.
Exactly what ive been doing the last 10 minutes before bed time.
I hate to see comments that criticize and demean an honest effort at entertaining the masses. After all, you can't please all the people all of the time. I honestly liked the movie. Sure, it's never going to be a Hollywood blockbuster, but it kept my attention to the end. When did everyone become movie studio executives? Some of you act like you are film school professors and know the ins and outs of movie theory. Sit back, watch and either enjoy it or not. Negative comments only go to show how much free time you have on your hands. I applaud those of us with the courage to step out and show us their particular and unique arts. I can' make a movie so I enjoy watching those that can turn their thoughts and ideas into this creative medium. Keep up the good FUN!
Well said sir...Thank you
Well James, you're going to get criticized both favorable and unfavorable. I wish I could tell you what people had said about my novels. And I haven't been able to publish yet because of money issues. Don't let the negative criticism stop you. I enjoyed your work and I'm really looking forward to more of your material in the future. Thank you for your hard work and the entertainment.
Hi Juan, Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. There have certainly been some entertaining criticisms over the years. Luckily I have tough skin and take it all with a grain of salt :D
I enjoyed it. It has rustic qualities that reminded me of early sci-fi. Look forward to seeing your next project.
Thanks Dennis, Happy you enjoyed it :)
Concrete in space? That must have been expensive to launch to orbit.
+Serhan Ogan Well this is Science *fiction* :)
Better be.
+Serhan Ogan once we move to space raw materials and energy become infinite.. though limestone may be a bit rare..
+Serhan Ogan built in space :)
Self funded, without the funds & space to build dedicated sets, one has to rely on the generosity of individuals & organizations to use their buildings, simply put you take what you can get, & if an old disused sewerage works, pumping station or refinery has to double as a space station so be it.
Nice work :-) I am impressed with what you did with such a low budget movie. Keep up the good work :)
Great job !!!
Thanks :)
James.Great Job.Can I see a great work and a lot of passion.You going to be ,soon, somebody in this industry.Congratulation and good luck, my friend.
In every possible way a B-movie and very hilarous!
A 'B' movie somebody is being very generous.
More like a D movie
I AM DUTIFULLY IMPRESSED!!! I'll be watching and waiting for more.
It was pretty good considering the year it was filmed, the budget, and your 1st movie. Not many people could have done better with what you had to work with at the time.. And I just got to know- the part of Mayor says played by Keith Harkin. Could this possibly be the Keith Harkin from Celtic Thunder> he would have been 13 at the time & if it is - what time stamp is he in cause I couldn't find him
Thank you James. I enjoyed it, I realize you were on a shoestring budget. You did well, the actors were fine, I know you had to crowbar in any "CGI" and I'm not disappointed. People who gripe about your effort, meh. Let them make their own. Good story. You aren't going to please everyone so please yourself, you gave it a great shot, how many do? Make some more movies sir!
Mate, good effort. Don't let the bastards grind you down.
Thanks John. The bastards don't bother me. Keeps it all entertaining 😃
Hi James,,
I approve most heartedly on your courage on making this movie, For your first attempt that I am aware of, it is better than a lot of stuff on SYFY(That channel sucks!) I am writing my first novel, so I know how hard it is to follow your dream. Good luck on all of your future endeavors!
good insights. had fun viewing your 1st effort. And the unaccountable hours editing it. a few trolls and back seat drivers BUT your accomplishment stands on stage while others quip & dream of making anything at all. I give an A for effort & an B for making it. Keeps u trying.
some acting was really spot on but some was campy , the scenery is great and the filming is professional
Thanks Kenneth :)
great job, loved the bucket cannon. The scene with the destroying the space ship at the end was really nice. Overall, great job for the invesment. sell this thing to cable, they need movies like this.
U're correct aobut ur own movie, and I appreciate what u had to say about it. I would be glad to b able to make something so well without any instruction aqnd withou8t any school or previous work in film. Even so, there is a good story line and the music is not so overwhelming that one cannot hear the dialogue like some practiced 'professionals' do. I cannot stand to watch movies that one cannot see becquse they are too dark or one cannot hear because of blaring music.
what??????
We have become a world of sub ebonics
annoying
I think it's perfectly obvious that English is not his first language. I am always impressed by people who can not only speak another language but make them selves understood in it's written form.
I disagree; the soundtrack and "effects" noise were too overwhelming. If I turned down the sound then the dialogue was not loud enough.
Hi I'm an Aussie.
Your movie was wonderful.
Thank you in your efforts to keep going.
It paid off in this Awesome 😎 movie.
Thank you for all of your efforts n the people who helped you get there
Thanks Rebecca, so happy you enjoyed it :)
Oh, man, I would have thought that RUclips or whoever takes cares of the closed caption text might consider paying someone else maybe even less than they are currently paying to whomever sold them that stupid translation software. The dumbware they use seems to literally translate (even English into English) by ear, meaning the bot translates what it finds in its database to most closely match what it hears. Most of the time it is hilarious. Any sound it does not recognize it proudly announces [Applause]. After one kazillion instances of nonexistent applause, i thought someone would have noticed. Another valuable contribution to a future where no one will know how to spell "you can do a better job than that". Cheers
There was a time I was going to correct them, but then I thought, "that's a big job for a movie no one will watch." So I never did, but now with a few million views, I guess people did watch and maybe I should get around to it. The auto-generated ones are kind of hilarious though 😂😂
Wow, takes me right back to '99.
Good effort, mate.
Well, it isn't Star Trek or Battlestar Gallactica but I think is an OK entry level movie.
Your well come. I like the idea of new original thinkers. If you really look at it, my children listen to the same music I used to listen to. That is because there's not much new and original out there. Also, how many times are we going to re-do Spiderman, Batman, Superman so fort so on. There's not much new and original out there. It is refreshing to see that there's talent out there. I encourage you to continue your work. I look forward in the future to see more of your material.
Loved it. At 23:17, "Need to resend your face". A person should write this stuff down and sell it for poetry. They'd make a million.
WOW! That's 47:56 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
" HEY JAMES COLE " this proves that stuff made in Australia is always tough & good & here in Kansas city worth watching THANKS-4-GOOD-MOVIE-MATE
Damn I thought it was really good better than some of the crap they produce today 👍👍👍💘💘💖💖✌🐎🐎
Thanks Jubill, I'm really glad you enjoyed it 😊🙏
@@EmpoweringMeditations plz. Make more of these I'm going to subscribe to your channel, p.s. sent movie to my wife she loves it thx.again for a great movie
@@jubill Hopefully your wife loves it as much as you do. Unfortunately, it's unlikely there will be any more like this one. We shot it in 1999 and it took 4 years to finish. So much time and effort, I'm not sure I could put myself through all that again. But never say never right...
Sent your movie to a few friends of mine and they where as thrilled as I was when that saw this movie I've watched it three times myself what a work of art thanks again 👏👏🖒🖒🖒💥💥☄☄🚀🚀🐴🐴🐴
Thanks @@jubill I really appreciate it. Happy you enjoyed it so much 🙏🙏💜💜 You probably know the movie better than I do now 😄
quite enjoyable in a typical cheesy sci fi kind ov way, its worth th 45 mins ov any ones time. Well done mr cole an every1 in th cast an production lookin forward to more :-)
Too much background noise, cannot hear the dialog. Sorry but I couldn't watch the whole story.
That was lesson 367 that I learned making this movie 😐🤷♂️
@@EmpoweringMeditations Is this an Australian production
@@georgehastings2263 It is. Shot all around Victoria.
@@EmpoweringMeditations Thank you
@@georgehastings2263 You're welcome 😊
Only one real way to learn , by doing .Good effort !
I see the comments of lame critics below , Let's see you do better , not just say you can do better or post disparaging comments .
It's 'stralian, mate! Nuf said.
😂😂
Very enjoyable. Excellent FX/makeup!
Brilliant effort. Damn sure it beats a lot of mine. Thanks for sharing.
Nice movie. I liked the characters and the way they interact. Good work.
Excellent Film saw this a few years ago been hoping to find it again. Ignore the Negative Idiots think there part of the people who have never done anything with there lives, in other words Life's Looser's.
Thanks bigniper, The Negative Idiots keep me entertained. Although I haven't seen many creatively negative comments for a while :D
Life's Looser's? Well this has gotta include YOU if you watched this movie.
