excellent!

My good friend and often foil Ross Ruediger and I have had this
ongoing debate over the future of "entertainment" - it's been 10 years
now and it still rages.

I maintain that the future is in short, well written and punchy films
of no longer than 20 minutes max. He obviously takes the opposite
point and the debate rages.

Every once in a while something comes along that proves my point -
this is one of them.

That's a great film - has all the components and is interesting,
funny, poignant all at the same time. Nicely shot too boot.

Great stuff - thanks.

Folks may be open to short format film but it's hard to develop
characters or a story arc of any real significance in such a short
time.

There's reasons other than the value of a movie ticket that push
feature films to more than 80 minutes.

You can develop great stories in a very short time. Comic strips are a
prime example. But your viewer has to be both smart and semi well rounded
to fill in the blanks.

And you learned this in film school or in comic drawing school? We're
talking about the medium called film. Thanks, when I need to know
more about comic strips, I'll know to whom I should turn.

Only the more intelligent read comic strips according to studies.
