Smart, witty and funny

I had the privileged of watching this film last night at the El Cid in Hollywood and I have to say I was greatly impressed.

I'm usually not one for the writer/artist trying to make it in the big city. Typically I find them cliché' but this was far from that. The filmic elements used; Voice-Over, talking to the camera, flashbacks were used in a manner that moved the story with great ease and although this could get tiresome the director does a great job of not letting that happen.

Charlie was your guy next door, easy to like and very relatible type of character but underneath you could tell there was more to him than a 2-dimentional character. I instantly connected with him, felt for him and found myself wanting him to succeed.

I would highly recommend this film to anyone who gets a chance to see it. GOOD JOB!!!!!

"Charlie is just a guy from Indiana trying to make it in Hollywood. To keep his dream alive, he'll have to rely the gifts of every Irish kid from the mid-west: a love of booze and the ability to tell outrageously wild tall-tales."

The film is not the typically "a young man trying to make it in Hollywood" story.

It is funny to see how he "makes it" in a different way (drinking and telling outrageously wild tall-tales).

The actors (Johnny Sneed as Charlie and Shannon Elizabeth as herself) perform well and the story is good and the characters are more complex than you'd expect.

It's a smart funny short and you should see it!!!

Short film making at its best.
