This is great, Matt. So simple but really sophisticated directing and pacing -- love how much silence there is in the bedroom scene. Can't wait to see what's next.

Excellent film, and while is funny and one laughs, somewhere in the middle of the film I stopped laughing, and comprehended the seriousness of the story. If there is sequel though [or the-making of] I'd like to see Brad Weinberg's brother in it, I am sure he would have some interesting stories to share too. This was brilliant guys, I loved it.

This is unbelievably well done. Well written. Solid acting. Great production. Quite inspiring.

What did you shoot with? How long did it take you to produce?
Matt Kazman 2 weeks ago

Hey Trevor - we shot it on the RED ONE. From finishing the first draft to the shoot, it took about 3 months. All the pre-production took place over my final semester at NYU. Post process took another few months.

Really great. Felt nothing less than truthful. Loved the music too. I've always wanted to use Little Bird in a film so I'm glad to see someone else with a similar taste. Can't wait to see whatever lies ahead!
