CGiii Comment

Mortimer re-makes his terrible short Float - as a feature.

And, thankfully, it is immediately obvious that some major improvements have been made - he must have listened to all the constructive criticism.

He did retain one actor - Williams as Romeo - which was a smart move, he was the only good thing in the short.

It is a perfect example: how a rough idea can be developed.

The power of the short - it can (and does) attract funding, this is proof.

A hearty congratulations to all involved - you believed in yourselves and in the project -  the outcome is a fine film that is a welcome addition to any library - especially this one.
