"That was a lot of fun." - Mark Johnson

"Funny stuff. Had me laughing good a few times. Your lead actor did a good job with the character." - Geoff R

"Dude you're a funny mofo. At first we were like: "wtf??" then as it went on for another 10 seconds we got into it and just started busting up. Nice job on the improv. " - NOBELO

"The guy was hilarious. The monster reminded me of something I saw on the cartoon show, "Johnny Quest" years and years ago. It was a ghostlike monster with one eye so that kind of took me back to my childhood." - Charli

"...Funny short. The lead actor had some good chops...overall his performance was good...did the camera man say "did you check your anus"?? LOL!" - TMerry

"What a crazy and hilarious short film! It left me laughing. L33tzor really carried this well." - Bob Loblaw

"...the lead guy was pretty funny. Great voice." - Michael Anthony Horrigan

“...great story, really enjoyed the ending.” - Matthew R. Rodwell

“I had fun with this...and the the fact that you not only had a gay theme, but a main character coming to grips with his sexual preference is brave and topical. And it was generally funny.” - Defcon
