I was definitely skeptical when you posted the first time with the poster, but holy moly, this was well done. Congrats on the great work.

Never did I think this would *actually* lead to anything, honestly, I would have just been happy is the people on this thread took the time to watch it. I know it's a small thing but this has just been such a labor and I've been in a constant state of tears for the past three days from the awesome response. It's been a long, hard road transitioning from an actor to director in the past few years but I think that maybe this might be the opportunity I've been hoping to create. Thank you all so much.

How did you do the helicopter lights all the way down the alley? Were there people on the roof???!

[u/iamreeb]

[u/gregsonfilm]
