    It appears as though the film is shot in digital... kinda has a home video look and feel. Don't let this deter you though... the acting and direction is top notch. Great little movie.

    This is an amazing movie. The writer had a deep understanding of Buddhism which I have studied for years. When so many of the movies that come out of Hollywood today are junk, to see this movie, that has a true spiritual message, is wonderful to watch. This movie is a gem.
