Notes:
Made as a student film by filmmakers Phillip Lybrand, Andres Martinez, Dave Groseclose, and Nate Buchik for an assignment that required the teams of students to produce a film using only two colors for art direction (black and white, duh) and combining at least two genres (silent film and porno). They got an A, and eventually the film was screened in competition for the Tucson Film Shortfest in 2006 and was also distributed by HungryFlix, an iPod/PMP download site.
