"Really good work guys. Love the dialogue. I really liked the use of the pictures and how you implemented them, i think the color was a little off at some points for my liking, though thats me being extremely picky. Bravo"

Smack Talk!

"Wow. Just wow. It is amazing to have won the very first fight we ever competed in. It is also unexpected, especially because of the tough competition. Thanks to everyone who voted for us. The Film Fights experience is one that we'd recommend to any amateur filmmaker, and we're not just saying that because we won. The site does a really good job keeping itself film festival-like. The reviews were insightful and helpful. We're definitely going to compete again, hopefully with less mistakes. Of course, we’ll never forget our fatal flaw in this fight. Yes, we DID break the 180-degree rule. And sure, it would be easy to lie and say that we broke it on purpose to achieve a Stanley Kubrick-like effect. (You know, in the Shining’s bathroom scene.) But we did it on accident. We’re sorry, Justin. We’re sorry."
