“Funny… really funny… An authentic people-driven comedy that achieves something reminiscent of the character dynamics found in Wes Anderson movies; as meaningful as it is silly. Far more than just a riff on a pop culture urban legend.”
- SHORT OF THE WEEK
“Very nicely done from start to end. The shots were beautiful, with great attention to detail, very clever touches, and a great feel for the time period. One of the best short comedy scripts we’ve seen, especially in terms of dialogue.“
- THE ROYAL TELEVISION SOCIETY
“Reminiscent in style and substance of HBO’s Flight of the Conchords with its independent feel, witty script and impressive psychedelic shots. You’ll wish it was longer.”
