@sukhdev1989 Yep, it was shot on a Canon 550D (the same camera I've used for all films for the past year and a half) with Pentax K-Mount lenses from eBay (28mm 2.8 & 50mm 1.7) on an adapter ring. This film just looked extra good because I took more time over the visuals and I'm getting better at using it all! I personally would get the 550D (or the 600D, which has manual audio control) over the 5Dmkii, just purely for price reasons. I love my 550D, it's brilliant. Thanks for watching.

This is what it's like to be in your thirties. Well done!

NO CC? CAN'T WATCH! 😢

[@rytterytter]

oh shit how fucking depressing this movie is.... well done though

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

I don't mean to be unkind, but I don't get what all the praise in the comments is about. Maybe it's because I'm a story person. I care more about the story than the acting, directing, camera work, or any of that. And this story was--for me, at least--a big nothing burger.

[@sambaron]

Thanks for watching!
