love this piece. excellent editing and storytelling. it does a great job of building that character and letting him be conflicted, yet inspirational. cheers, man. also, the sequence towards the end with the guitar playing as he's walking thru the church... what a classic movie moment :)

Well, shit guys, I'm happy you think highly of the craftsmanship. If anybody pulls any inspiration or catharthis out of it then it's all worth while.

This guy is a great character. I like how you played with both music styles in this short.

There was an unexpected vocal effect heard when Jasper spoke mid way through the film. I appreciated that moment and its impact. *Finding balance really is key with all things.* :) P.S. This most definitely is not a shit film! :D

That's awesome Tamika :) I'm glad that the little things like that have an effect on some people. It's important not to neuter your film from all the impactful imperfections, I think.

"...impactful imperfections..." :) Indeed, some of the greatest scientific, engineering, and all together artistic feats where originally discovered, designed, and creatively cultivated purely on accident! :D
