I think the movie was originally shot in 2008 or something like that and finished and published in 2010. So it was made just few years before the DSLR cameras changed indie filmmaking forever. Thus this movie still has that early-2000's vibe to it, clearly having its own style and most of the time feels like a bigger movie than it actually is. Of course one can't do everything with limited budget but the compositions and art design etc. Works really well. And it looks pretty filmic considering being shot on a small sensor regular video camera without dof-adapters or any special lenses.
Acting is great but some of the acting is very over-the-top at times, I think entirely on purpose to point out that the characters are pretending to be something they really aren't. There is some satirical elements which the viewer may not catch and may thus seem a bit weird but that does not matter.
Checking out the background of the filmmakers, for almost everyone it was their first "real project" and it is incredible that they managed to get this good end result.
Most of them continued on small budget indie productions or have no imdb credits after this movie, but there seems to be few who got quite successful. Hearwarming to see that it really is possible to get somewhere making indie films, or at least was back then before the dslr craziness messed up the whole indie filmmaking all over the World.
I have seen multiple versions of the movie and the original 2010 edit was the best by my opinion, the director also made the later altered edit which is on YouTube and misses some of the small scenes and nuances the original 2010 edit had but is still working pretty well.
Loved the music btw, really raised the movie to the next level! And the lead women was fantastic!
