I wasn't a part of making this one, but oh how I wish I would have been. This short was made for the 2006 Boulder Shoot-Out, in which contestants are required to write and shoot an entire short film in only twenty-four hours, without the aid of any nonlinear editing. This film won best film for the 17 and under age group, although I have watched the whole DVD and can vouch for the fact that it really, truly is the best film of all those submitted.
Apart from it being surprisingly high-concept for such a rushed, small-scale piece, this film also supports what I honestly hold to be my favorite cinematic line delivery of all time, when Vvinni, as the bum, says, "God bless you, captain spacecraft!" Apparently it was a flubbed line, and I think that's part of its charm, but the wealth of character exposition packaged into that delivery is truly astounding. Bravo.
