    Wow that looks dreadful, the type of film which will do more damage to the way people view Irish cinema than Boy Eats Girl.

    Now I want to see it even less, the voice over sounds dreadful, the acting is woeful and to be honest I turned it off after about 30 seconds.

    I'm guessing you're involved with the production to some extent, possibly director? Well can't say I was a fan either, I also quickly turned off the second clip. To me, it just looks like a group of friends having a laugh, which is all well and good, but probably not going to be something other people will have an interest in watching. Production values aren't great either - although that's understandable, given it's clearly a low to no (closer to the latter I'm guessing) production. The 'stylised' imagery seems shoehorned in too, and the lack of a cohesive aesthetic is damaging - just random moments of shoddy stylisation, which doesn't look good at all. Plus, tries a bit too hard to shock (crucifix condom?), although can't judge without a wider context. However, can't imagine spending anymore than a few minutes watching this.

    Harsh assessment, maybe, and fair play to you for making something, but you can't expect to put something like that on a public forum without some honest criticisms :)
