Sabi Pictures presents the breakout performances of John T. Woods and Marion Kerr in this compelling and raw glimpse into a young man's charmingly ill-conceived scheme to redeem himself in the eyes of his ex-girlfriend. As sincere and heartfelt as it is hilarious, Ain't It Cool News has hailed it as "Brilliant" while Rogue Cinema praised the film as "...a beautiful little movie...funny and touching...". Zak Forsman's directorial debut is an assured, emotionally-charged work with highly authentic performances and gorgeous compositions.

To unify the form of this piece with its improvised content, the camerawork needed to read as equally spontaneous as the actors’ performances. A key technique to infuse a unique visual aesthetic resulted in the momentary misframings and over-corrections we were looking for – like a panicked cameraman struggling to keep up with the unfolding story. We made use of existing and supplemented color palettes to contrast the appearance of each character’s world – Carol’s being more balanced but lacking in intensity, and Ron’s being largely out of balance and over the top.
