Relax, this is not an attempt at the Cormac McCarthy story by an independent filmmaker, this is instead a fantastic darkly funny short film about the price of good intentions and how no good deed goes unpunished. I’m not about to ruin the hilarious and demented surprise ending, but I will say that Thomas is on to something when he introduces the notion that we’re all connected somehow. This is a very small planet based on our connection and nine times out of ten the things we do affect another person, and so on and so forth. I am also a firm believer in good karma, and the concept of doing good things allowing you to have good fortune shine on you is a great ideology that I’ve found to be true.

It’s a great statement about life, good fortune, and how sometimes good intentions can do us more harm than good. Thomas has a great short film on his hands that will throw you for a loop by the time it ends. I enjoyed it very much.
