I didn't quite follow how this was supposed to be an inspirational film. The idea of lugging the mother's ashes around was neat, but there wasn't very much dialogue that was audible and the story was hard to follow just based upon the visuals. I think that this may have been a bit of a rough cut, but there were some good ideas even if I couldn't quite follow the execution.

Poor sound, poor video, poor acting, poor editing I can deal with. Tedious films however are a lot harder to look to get a positive perspective on. Especially if they decide to essentially shoot not in the English language but with some gobbidy gook infantile babbling sounds throughout, with said sounds emanating from the ashes urn of our mentally unstable lead. I think tripping out and imaging the other funeral goers were an angry mob was the highlight, and that happened about 10 seconds into the film. I honestly really don't mean to sound to harsh but a plot would be appreciated if I have to watch another of your films ever again - the visual gags almost had a point but no exposition as to why meant I was confused as fuck.

very experimental hehe.. nothing really added into.. or continued.. the story.. only vaguely continuing element seemed to be the ashes thing and the odd soundtrack if you can call it that.. and what was that attack slow motion effect/attack to ashes holder trying to say.. must have been fun shooting that but..

Genre's like these which are vague to begin with, make for a hard film to make in 48 hours. And it seemed this team had a hard time trying to grasp/convey this idea. Was very confused as to what was going on, had a little bit of a chuckle with that first slow motion shot with everyone trying to kill the main guy... apart from that, there was nothing in it for me.

Quirky little film with a good use of sound to give it a fun feel. Didn't quite get some of the parts but I guess the strange things happening were due to a strong sense of grief. Lot's of locations but with a good flow between them all.

It's a tough genre to pull off and this team couldn't pull it off. I still don't understand what was meant to be 'inspirational' about this film. I liked the odd soundtrack but it didn't do much else for me.

Didn't quiet get the 'inspirational' bit of this film, and the sound could have had a bit more work but i guess you ran out of time! Was a bit confuses with the voice also.

Am not a film maker - just an audience member, so am just commenting on the entertainment aspect. I felt this film was targeted a an audience of 5 year olds. Personally I find it difficult to get passed the Mr Bean mumbling of the urn and characters. Visually - it was fine, I will look forward to a more mature approach from this team next year.
