Comments
These characters feel…
These characters feel wonderfully real, and the situations they're thrust in capture something essential about being a contemporary 30-something.
Interesting Concept
An interesting look into the world of technology and its effects on intimate relationships. Suggestion. Stay close on Jason and spend some more time with him alone so that we can get a better feel for and an understanding of his ineptness and self-doubt BEFORE entering the presentation?
