A Park Bench/Yesterday: A Tragedy In Split-Time

A man and a woman sit on a park bench. The man is convinced they were there yesterday, but he’s not sure. Maybe they were.

Hey everyone. This is a short film I made a few months ago and am putting online now. I really like it, but hey, I made it, so maybe you have a different opinion. Either way, this is worth watching if you like: brain freezes, The Beatles, or laughing.
