    I liked this film, but I do have to wonder about all the one word comments. If everyone likes it so much why can't they spend the time and explain why? Is it just a bunch of friends giving support. I liked it because I found it uplifting, "it's a struggle but a worth while one."

    Not bad. Can't help but feel that the response to it has been somewhat "manufactured" by the filmmakers if you know what I mean!

    Not that there is anything necessarily wrong with that.

    It was well shot and the acting was very natural. Just didn't think there was a lot of strength in the story or the narrative drive.

    Good effort though.

    An awesome short. One mans struggle against reality and the short-comings of his own 'god-given' talents. When I first watched it I thought maybe Roderick was being a bit tongue-in-cheek. But having seen it again I think he truly believes his music is a blessing for us Londoners. Is that self-delusion? I'm not sure.

    A great insight into the outlook of any struggling artist. Best short I have seen on here so far.

    Quite obviously the creator of the film has written most of these comments in order to try and catch the attention of the judges. Not sure if that's in the spirit of the contest. Consider nightwalking which has 10000 on viewings and only 132 comments. Hmmmm.

    A shame really, cos I quite enjoyed the film. Didn't love it, in no way is it 5*.

    Hope they can't track your IP address "aantranikian" or there might be some egg on your face.

    It's nothing to do with 'my film' not doing well - I'd have to have entered the competition for a start. I just genuinely thought it was run-of-the-mill.

    It's just not a great script. The guy is a good actor though, and it's shot quite nicely.

    Hi guys, I am so overwhelmed by your feedback. I really appreciate your comments. It is an amazing feeling to know that there is an audience out there. I uploaded the film many weeks ago and it remained completely undiscovered until last week. I am very happy that this has changed. Thanks you so much for this. Please keep on voting and commenting. Cheers, Armen.

    I'm afraid i have to agree with the few on here that seem to have sense. Just really not that good. Pretty tame actually. 3 stars at very VERY best. No throughline, direction's all right, but where is the film going?? We get that he's a lovable loser 5 seconds into the film. Showing him for another 2 minutes does't make this a great film. Sorry.

    I find it takes you on an interesting journey. At first you think he's just an insufferable, if entertaining, plonker. But then as the film progresses you develop a genuine fondness for his open positivity which makes you reflect on your own cynicism, especially as a creative individual.

    Good job.

    This film definitely has a feel good factor about it. I personally think that the busker has a great outlook on life and makes one feel as if you as a person feel that success is happiness, when you successful at your goal, you are happy. Playing music to people on the street makes the busker happy, therefore that is his success, therefore making him happy. Good Luck with the film, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I can see why people watching this can find this film funny, because it is funny, how this one guy thinks his music is 99% talent, when he clearly can't sing, but it has a feel good factor because he thinks he can. I like it. It gets my vote, thumbs up.

    aah we all get our inspiration from somewhere so we can't expect something out of the blue, but could have been a little bit more original. however i went on your website and you seem to have done quite a bit for yourself. think you should give others an opportunity, those who have never had their work shown before. it was well shot, great actor, but fails on originality and enjoyment. still, i give you credit for an attempt. not easy making films I reckon.

The thing i enjoyed about it was his outgoing way about it, but un-original. top notch for quality, shots, acting, other then that nothing really makes it stand out.

    Fantastic film, deserves to do well. It's clear this film is building a nice fanbase, and so it should. It really puts a smile on your face without overtly trying to, like many other films. It seems the miserable sods are in the minority!

    Willrowen - just because you might have enough time on your hands to sit down and write hundreds of comments on one film, does not mean that other people do. Do you have any idea how time consuming it would be if this director really did write all his own comments. Well, I can tell you he certainly isn't writing mine. Obviously you are jealous. And need a reality check. Your comment is also an insult to the hundreds of people who have truly enjoyed this film and taken the time to say so. Maybe this film gets so many good comments because, unlike others, it makes people feel good - and that, in itself, is original by today's standards.

    Next on my rant...Mike - I also checked out the director's website and so what if he's done a few other things before....he has obvioulsy worked hard at achieving those things, so does that mean he doesn't deserve to do have the exposure this comp could bring him?

    I wish people like these would shut up and let people who are enjoying a good film do exactly that....ENJOY it.

    Rant over.

    Good luck Roderick!

    however agree with some the glue holding this together is the actor. the story isn't fresh, the idea is quite common, it lacks the style and flavour of a piece of original. its as though anyone could make a piece like this. i must give you a good rating for actually entering the competition. i would be disappointed if this won, the idea isnt fresh and exciting. well done though and best of luck with it

    some people have problems with actors, some have problems with story, but that's just little things. I think people have to see PAST all the little tiny things they're seeing wrong with it, because first timers can't always get it right first time. that's impossible. i don't know if this is your first, because if it is it is very well made. but from previous comments I'm guessing it's not but still, I spose you are still learning

    Seriously. . .Seriously??? . ..This deserves this many comments? SERIOUSLY? Saw the film because there were so many viewings and comments. Looking forward to it. But seriously? 5 stars??? Come on! No offense but what the hell.

    This doesn't come anywhere close to getting through the first round for me. Sure it's better that most of the rubbish out there in this competition but it had no structure, and no . . .point. Just a talking head.
    There is no way this should win, yes the production values were high, but after looking at this guys website its clear that he owns his own equipment. It was always going to be. Surely what this competition is about is the story!
    I don't blame the director or the actor, they've done alright. But just that. Its alright! The reviews this is getting is downright silly. C'mon people lets start thinking eh?!
