This is one of the few films on this site that you may have seen elsewhere.  It's been featured in several short festivals, I think, both online and in reality.

Chris Browne and Jon Chu, partners on this film and on "Silent Beats", demonstrate here a commanding grasp of film language and a real tenderness for their subject matter. The cinematography and production design is impeccable, crucial to a film which takes place entirely in a single, fairly plain, room.

We never get the sense that the camera is static; the cuts flow naturally, and the use of a wide lens and foregrounding keeps the eye moving.

You can tell that they had a lot of fun with the noir lighting, and the costumes.  A more fun and more interesting use of black and white non-sync 16mm than most you get to see.  The denoument adds an appropriate touch of camp, and the coda, with the young girl, contextualizes everything nicely, broadening the scope of the film and tying it up neatly at the same time.
