This is the most personal of card alarms. It is the next step in "step away please". I sort of guessed the direction, but that's an annoying weakness of mine. It was amusing, tantalizing, and potentially perverse. But worth the see.

9 of the funniest minutes ever put to film. Plays from time to time as "filler" on cenemax between other movies, if you can catch it DO. I exchanged a brief e-mail conversation with director Seth Wiley who advised the film had never been officially released on DVD, sadly.
Disgusting...

My tivo decided to record this 9 minute short, so we figured what the hell...
A guy wants to rob a car that always falls for the wrong type of man, acting was great, story was original, camera work was so-so.
If you like humor, drama, and watching someone shag 'a' car as opposed to 'in a' car, this is for you.
Enjoy.
They should put a disclamer at the end of the movie for idiots not to try that at home.
classic stuff.

Quirky little short.

I loved this. It's about a car thief who falls in love with a car that he's trying to steal. That's right, the car talks to him. This is a perfect example of what an independent short film should be. Adequate acting, a low budget used well, and a non-mainstream story line. I especially like the ending.
The film seems like a perfectly elongated TV comercial.

P1 has genious filmatography. It's lighting, timing and "mes en sen" give it a great clean crisp look. P1 has a look similar to that of the beginning of The Transporter, minus the straifing lettering across the screne. Not to say that the two are similar in quality or content. It seems like what a true independent film should be. The casting of looks and sounds of characters is a key element in this film. P1 must be exactly what Seth Wiley had invisioned if not better; entirely untainted by anything but the original creators. There is nothing worse than a bad decision made which tainted an otherwise perfect film, caused by a second party other than the original writer and director.
