i think the corniness is the whole point of it? It's clearly a sendup, a parody? i think it's great, well done.

Corny and obvious. Waste of good talent

Have you enetered your film in any short competitions? It would do very well I imagine. Very fresh, clearly the best film on the site.

Good Job Nicky Boy!

That was great! It wasn't the red carpet premier I was promised but I loved it anyway. ;) You obviously have a long prosperous career ahead of you.

I thought the script was fantastic. Have you made any other films I could see? You just might be the next big thing in Australian cinema, great film.

Wow! I've just jumped on to see how the film is going and there are all these comments. Thanks guys.

To answer the question about budget...simply put it wasn't much! Everyone on the film, all cast and crew worked for free. Everything in terms of locations, props, costumes, 1959 Cadillac etc etc etc was for free. The biggest expense was catering for all of us to eat each day!

Thanks for all the comments everybody, keep them coming! I really appreciate the feedback!

What a beautiful looking film...what was your budget??? Fabulous!!!

Well done... your production value was great. I must also say that the Sound Designer and Original Score team should be extremely proud of what they have produced. You both really held the film together where the scripted lacked. Nick, your concept is brilliant and I like your ideas as a director and look forward to seeing you evolve. Bring on the next and larger project and always dream...congrat's...

I love the dance at the end through the credits! Fantastic.

Wow. A friend sent sent me this link and told me I'd like it. It looks simply fantastic and has just the right amount of cheese. I can't believe you got Marisa in it. I've put it on my iPod so I can show my friends at filmschool.

I love the way you have captured the 1950s in an absolute nutshell. Top notch production values - great script. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I know the director Nick Ball. He does have a new feature length project in development that we're all eagerly awaiting!! If you want to contact him, his email is nick@jamroll.com.au.
He is certainly one to watch!
