    Not Sepe's strongest.

    This movie makes a very bold choice when you find out that the movie is entirely colorless, a risk that was not pulled off. The worst thing about it is the presentation. While interesting during some parts, the camerawork and framing could have used something more. But besides that, the movie is well acted, intriguing, and may open your eyes just a little

    Tells a story that could be as real as it sounds.

    I like this short, its impressive for the budget it has and you could tell that care was put into it. Its also a really good movie for teenagers. I think this because of how the movie goes on about drugs, and shows how they change your life, whether you sell them or use them. This is a good lesson and film for teens as well. The movie is also in black and white, signifying sadness and depression in the main characters life. When he smokes however, the movie is in color and shows weird swirls and effects. Definitely check this one out on YouTube.

    Amazing for the budget

    Very enjoyable film but the filmography is clearly amateurish. The black and white is a bold choice but shows why films use color. Sepe has clearly improved with his more recent films and while this film jump started his career I cant praise it too heavily. Would reccomend it to anyone who enjoys his style of filming and wants to see his older work.

    Not that good.

    The only reason why this gets 6 stars is cause its Ralph. This guy has definitely improved over the years.

    Shocking such a movie could be made with such little money

    Okay so i am going to try to make this review as spoiler free as a review can be. This movie was amazing. One of the reasons this movie was amazing was that is was made with so little money and wasn't aiming to get money. Most movies today are using movies to sell toys (I.E Transformers) or to sell other movies, it was made solely on the purpose to make an interesting movie. This film is about a young boy getting involved with dealing drugs. Sounds like a pretty simple plot but is crafted and directed very creatively. The music is amazing and the acting is very good considering he is only 17. All around great movie and would recommend to all of my friends.
