Leddy and his co-star Maury (the inimitably talented Mark Dabney Robinson) exude a rare chemistry in short films that deal in parody: they are by turns both funny and pitiful. it's hard to decide who needs who more. my only question: what is next for this marvelous duo? and why haven't we seen more of Mr. Leddy's comic writing gift on the big screen? Mr. Lewallen's cinematography, on what was presumptively a shoestring budget, complements this pseudo-documentary riff wonderfully, making it seamlessly complete.

when fellini committed 8 1/2 to film many commented that it was the most personal vision ever to find its perfect expression. when dante cast betrice to the flames of his undying passion many were aghast at the honest brutality of his unrequited feelings for a younger woman. when onur tukel, and a merry band of wickedly talented and misfited filmmakers--from the mecca of movie-making insanity--band together, during the course of two chilly weeks in december 2000, many commented that nothing more sophmoric had ever been committed...much less on film.

well, to the doubters out there, watch this original piece and find out why the ID is both a charming and powerful thing. and if that doesn't getchya, roll over and rub one out...it's probably time you did so.

kudos onur on a great piece of art
