Nice story, but...

This looked like a very interesting story, and it is. If they had a few million bucks they could have made a great film out of this story. So, while the story is there, the production values are, um, lacking to say the least. I appreciate independant film makers, and I give Leopoldo Laborde credit for getting this one out there. I'm sure his later films are just fine. This film was made with no lighting (which is why everything happens during the day), no microphones save the one "on the camera", and I have a feeling he used his own house for the set. The subtitles get a little humorous with typos. Overall the low-budget nature becomes just distracting, taking the viewers mind off of the story, which is fairly well played. June 20, 2008
