Alien Abduction by Ronnie Larsen

I'm considering submitting to this short to that new TV show, On The Lot. Any thoughts?

I love the Ronnie Larsen soundtrack. Were you talking to Caryn on the pot?

I have thoughts about this film.
Ronnie Larsen's choice of a main character was interesting. He is kind of an anti-hero, but not in the Clint Eastwood tradition, he is more of an anit-anti-hero. His pronounced lack of knowledge about film conventions and tradition create a tension which creates a space, a space where nothing happens. And we, the audience are sucked against our wills into that strange and, dare I say it, alien place. Not only is the anti-anti-hero abducted, we are abducted by aliens, invisible aliens that lurk menancingly like phantoms in the empty gap between intention and action.

What was I saying?
Did I mention that the film was short?
