Kind of makes you feel a little less important, in a good way. Why be a CEO, or a brain surgeon, or the president, when running free like a horse would make you happy?

Nice Job!

The comments are almost as entertaining as the short film. Ranging from clueless to film-savvy. at any rate, nicely done. I agree with the comment from gerrygerrygerry, pure Paris Pullman, or any other art house cinema. Nice pacing with the dreamy music - which also sounds very French (Eric Satie, etc).

Like most of us we are Cows in a Horse world!Just follow the herd. Here's your bell! Milking (meeting) at 7:30am. Lunch will be (tastes like Hay) yesterdays sandwiches. Bull Durham the (Boss) will bellow at the figures and spread more (bovine bio-mass) about how he did it in three years. No rest from last night's tipping by a bunch of loud drunks. Smell my future at McDonalds accross the street.

Good concept. Deep thought. As a man he is and the man he want to be. You can put more things in it....... Good work.

Okay, I have to admit that I didn't see the tagline coming. I was about to chalk it up, but that bit about the cow made me laugh.

 
 

cosmocoala3/18/07

Crutch223/15/07

Haha, I saw this in a taxi in scotland on the little screen inside the cab. It was completly random next to all the foreign commercials. It's high art making fun of......high art, and it does it well.
