As a filmmaker always considering how to launch my career in less than 15 minutes, this is a pretty good example of how it's done.

I am a fan and can see how it would be career changing for the writer/producer/director.

Sometimes it can all be so simple.

What did you all think? Impressed or nay?

It was missing...something...

maybe a better ending.

Kept my attention but didn't really do much with it.

I did laugh when I saw the cell phone recording, tho.

Go check it out pronto.

I'd recommend not watching the trailer, as it's spoiler-y, but for those who need it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTjYRFZOf4I
