From the insidious to the sublime, my first impression was to follow the characters wherever they led me, and that is always a good sign.

This is a wonderful, short starring the personable, handsome, and versatile actor, Matthew James Gulbranson. Matt and cast provide humor combined with a subtle edge, supporting the writers' intent to release a first-rate specialty piece. Akin to Death of a Salesman, but for a modern audience, there is a lightness that later reveals a heaviness, while maintaining a sense of dignity. You connect instantly with the characters, from the insidious to the sublime! My first impression was to follow the characters wherever they led me, and that is always a good sign. There is an important message, herein, as well, and that is to honor humanity over technology and reward kindness and compassion, while recognizing that greed strips away human dignity, when it invades our private space and attempts to control and dictate our basic needs.
