Thanks for the good words about the film. No, it wasn't done for work or school; just for fun (and possibly getting noticed out there in the "reel" world). Before I took the day-job I have now, I used to work in the art department in movies -- mostly made for TV things, but it was still fun. If you watch TV, you've probably seen something I worked on.... And no, I don't appear in the movie; I had schedule conflicts and couldn't be on-set, or I probably would have been in it. Lots of my friends are in it, though....
