    Great concept, great camera work, great lighting, great editing, great acting (channeling the Cleverly's a bit). And great playing. Splendid!

    Thanks for all the kind words. It was fun to make. I was gonna turn it black and white or sepia, but the colors seemed to work well so I left it in color.

    The incorporation of the theme from 'The Addams Family' was a hilarious inspiration - thanks for posting that!
