CGiii Comment

It's non-narrative...well, thank goodness for that - because, we - by the end - hadn't a clue what was going on...perhaps, a little too much crammed into a short time.

So, it seems that this is a project for a feature...well, tidy-up the camera-work and adopt the narrative approach.

A good-looking boy - alone - cannot make a film!
