Hi Pat, thanks for your comment on the film! Sorry about the last comment btw, it was automated (Hello Rufus Griffen LOL). I forgot to put a writers credit in the credits - duh! I wrote the main story but Jenny and Gary helped a lot - Jenny came up with the idea for the end twist (I really like that!) I bought Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 recently and it was cheap - got an OEM version direct from Adobe ($80!). It's got a cool effect on it that gives 1 Week its look. I wanted it to stand out and everyone is so obsessed with high def at the moment that I wanted to reverse the trend . It's in glorious Low Def!! Anyway, on to the next now! Hope everyone's well. Take care, Steve :)

Hi Man! The film is finished and premiers tonight at Gary and Jennys! As soon as the copyright comes through (very soon) then it will be online! I really like it and I think it looks like nothing else! Hope you and Kasturi and the kids are well. Hare Krishna - God has been soooo good to us in the making of this short . Take care and speak soon, Steve
