A nice small film that manages to avoid being a stereotypical "gay boy loves straight boy" story, and with a very interesting (and earned) twist at the end. Proof that simple stories with real characters work well, no matter the length.
The performances, camera-work and editing are above average, and unlike many low-budget short films, the music is nicely integrated into the story. Expect more from lead actress Aimee St. Pierre -- she exhibits a sweetness with an edge here reminiscent of Alyson Hannigan; and definitely expect more from producer/director/writer Brian Rowe. If he can do this in twelve minutes, I'd love to see what he can do with a feature.
