Will only rock the worlds of similarly youthful boho types on alt-cinema sideroutes.

The characters in this video, denizens of the San Francisco art fringe, seem like they're heavily sedated.

L.A. Weekly

This is a quick-witted, smartly poignant effort from someone who's earned his indie cred and has hit upon a rich new vein for counterculture comedy: slacker desperation.

Jon Moritsugu is the best! I own all his movies and watch them over and over and over. He just gets the weirdness in all of us.

Jon Moritsugu's latest is sadly not his greatest, still shot on a gritty handheld camera like his previous works. The film is centered on two different youths, the first is a punk rocker who is getting to old, and the second is a young filmmaker that hasn't made anything because he is to scared to find out that he is not talented. All other Moritsugu films have a certain fast paced energy that this one definatly lacks and the characters are all a bunch of whiny bitches.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Wasn't interested enough to push through the $1,000 production values and amature acting.
