    VSFF Screening

    After watching this film in VSFF, all I can say is wow! Beautiful production design, the direction, the cinematography, the acting. It was the right amount of everything. People laughed from the beginning to end. Chris, thanks for ending it with Dorothy! Kudos and more films to come.👌🏼

    Well-acted, but terribly written.

    Melissa and Carlos are incredibly talented, but the script didn't do the pair any favors. Toxic relationships aren't funny and should not be played off for humor. It's an old way of thinking, and it's time to move on from the mess that just reeks of Leonard Bernstein's failed operetta "Trouble in Tahiti."

    Hope to see it sometime.

    Although not having seen this film, I find that it was quite hilarious. I was given spoilers and honestly, I laughed at all the jokes. I hope to see the film, and laugh at all the hilarious jokes. Happy to see one of my favorite actors, write and direct a 9-minute film.

    Congratulations to all the other writers and directors who also wrote their stories.
