Well, to be honest, I hoped the movie wouldn't exactly seem happy-go-lucky, but beyond that, I didn't plan the "eerie" part. I'm happy it came off that way, as it is appropriate, but it seems I've simply stumbled onto a good thing. I get the feeling if I try to go for a certain mood when making a film, I'm going to fail, but if I just concentrate on making the various aspects of production--visuals, sounds, editing, and so on--appropriate, the rest will fall into place naturally. Thank you for your comments.

I'm very sorry to hear about your mother, you have my most sincere condolences; I'd hoped people would understand the feelings in the film, but didn't mean to hit so close to home. I suppose that's a good thing, in a way, but I still feel strange that someone has had an experience so similar to the one presented here.

I'm sure she understands about the sandwich.

Robert, remember this: People always find something personal in others' work. You did a fine job. Be proud.

I liked this one because of the chemistry between characters, I find it quite well done, probably because there is a real chemistry anyway (I assume they are your real family). I like in the beginning, the typical mom-son argument :)

As for the end, if there is anything reflexting (not perfectly sure about that) it should be more obvious somehow as it would really conclude the short nicely on it's own.
