to weep in public is not of men

My friend Thomas Sullivan, a wonderfully talented and learned musician, has recently become enthusiastic about digital "film" making and has completed his first movie short. A tongue in cheek dramedy called Crying In Public. It's a 3 minute quicktime movie (15 megabyte download) which was completed for a film collective in Brooklyn called Day 60 which gives its members a theme and 60 days to complete a short piece. The theme last month was "crying in public".

Thomas wrote, directed, starred, ran the camera, did the editing and created the original score. I'm really surprised he didn't throw a big passionate kiss scene into the script, because his co-star looks very kissable. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
