CGiii Comment

Congratulations Mr Lin - a fine little film indeed - again, proving it's all in the writing.

There are a few flaws - most notably with the sound levels...ho hum.

A fine talent that will undoubtedly grow and excel.

The(ir) Blurb...

Ben is a perfectionist and overachiever whose tunnel vision leads to nothing less than graduating at the top of his class. As he struggles to achieve social success, he discovers his darker side. He and his friends: Virgil, Daric and Han lead a double life of mischief and petty crimes to alleviate the pressures of perfection. As their adopted identity grows, the gang tumbles into a downward spiral of excitement, excess and fun.
