Plot Summary: An open space apartment…a blind man…a special advertisement…a mysterious door…

Director & Writer: Nicolas Franik

Serious Jest:  (Worth Watching)  The audio/visual quality was a bit suspect (although the film’s IMDB page says that it’s still in post-production) , but the story intrigued me, kept me interested as it developed, and left me pondering it afterwards in a good way.  What does it all mean?  I have my opinion….I’d like to hear yours.

Serious Jest:  (Free View)  This film was delightfully different.  Francis really sold it!  The anticipation as he’s getting ready to eat his sandwich made me hungry, and got me invested enough so that not only did I actually sympathize with him when it came up missing, but I was genuinely interested in discovering who took it!  This film is not a must-see, nor is it one that you’ll want to see more than once, but I still gave it 4 mugs because it was different from anything I’d seen in a while, Francis’s verbal and non-verbal performance was awesome, and, quite simply, it put a big smile on my face–something about this film struck a chord with me and I was very glad I watched it.
