    A GREAT short film!

    I wish there were more to view. The Total of the story. Was he born and raised in captivity? How did humans become endangered? I would love to see an entire film based on this short film project. How, What, Where, When, who and why. But no matter how hard I search I can't find Anything.

    The Ending Was Off the Mark

    This has that Truman Show quality. A young guy named Jim is a museum piece. He is Exhibit A at a museum, serving as an example of a human being, a formerly endangered species. People look at him through windows as he does whatever he does (nothing much). One day, a pretty young woman is put into the mix and the fun starts. But the conclusion comes so fast and with little development.

    Loved the innocence of the film

    I Wish I could have the simplicity and innocence of 'Jimme' Jim. Not knowing the outside world and free from temptation, being corrupt, no judgement one way or the other. I DREAM of a time like this.
