Gents. This wasn't a Drama. You will not win the Dramafest competition. At all. However...
Finding this little film in the midst of all the solemnity of the other entries was absolute bliss. The funniest thing I've seen on this site, to date. You would certainly find an audience for this kind of stuff in the UK. I was still giggling this morning at work. Thanks for submitting. There should always be a couple of rogue entries in any fest; it adds an extra frisson of excitement.
If you're wondering why I didn't use any exclamation marks or caps to underline my enthusiasm, it's because I'm way too British to do that.

Stye in my eye
At first I was confused because this was supposed to be a "drama" fest, but then I realized this was one of the most brilliant concept comedy stunts I've seen in a long time. I loved the brief scene of manny frolicking in a park for no reason, as well as the way he stole the money, and the use of the over-embellished shakey-cam. Some great lines too: "YES! YES! YEEEES! YESSSSSSSS!" and "I AM the supervisor." I don't know, it was just so absurd and funny.

Brilliance is so subjective. How about "ineffable." Or just plain "WEIRD"!

I dont think I can add too much to what's been said
Just add me to the list of people who were laughing out loud at this one. There's too much about this thats funny to go into. I watched it with 'Yeen' and I think we put it on about 4 times. The most watched short by us in this fest.

Yeah, I have to chime in. Bless the twisted powers that spawned you guys and put a camera in your hands. This thing starts gnawing at your innards after awhile and eventually bludgeons your brainstem into submission. This is too weird for words and the only reasonable critique I can seriously add is the suggestion that it could have really worked for me if you had added a french maid ... a really hot french maid.

Yeah, i kind of wish there was going to be a comedy fest. Between this goofy thing and stuff like David Jerome's massive cool and absurd head-trip, I think ComedyFest would produce some pretty amazing things.

14th review:
well, it was under 2 minutes. the footage looked nice, i wasnt begging for it to end, thats already better than most ive watched.
in any case i dont think i need to say much other than i would actually like the 2 minutes back. No eric? the credits werent formatted to well, and according to the website on the computer, you arent great with placing text correctly anyways.
you have a knack for lighting, please take yourself seriously. but again, atleast it was short!

Wow, thanks for all the feedback. I'm very glad that people liked my movie and it's okay if some people didn't. We did shoot this pretty fast and so we had to cut some corners.
However, we did shoot this after the rules were posted. The reason the name "Jason" was important is because we wanted the name "Jason Glass" to convey fragility and domesticity. Thus it recalls "Mason Jar" and it also means "healer" and I wanted to make Jason seem like a good guy and very vulnerable, so that the plot twist would be a surprise. Also, if people like Manny knew his name was Eric they would realize maybe he was the supervisor, since the supervisor's name is Eric. There is some comedy, but I like to think that it's situational and character based, rather than based on punchlines in jokes.
The shooting style does have a lot of zooms. It was meant to look like "24," especially the scenes of Manny. The first scene, particularly the shots of Manny, I like a lot, but I think the scene of hacking the circuit board looks a bit too harsh. The edge light in the ending conversation is much too bright but we didn't have time to reshoot it or anything.
Thankfully, I learned some things and I am really glad people liked it overall. Thanks for all of your comments. I appreciate all of them, even criticism.
