An opening scene with Mariachi music was just like the start of a film, perhaps a Rom-Com, or maybe something completely different, like suddenly coming upon police tape, a pair of antagonistic competitive homicide detectives, a quietly focused forensics team squinting a lot because a body was found dressed as a Mariachi but no instrument at the scene because it was probably stolen. Then none of this happened and everything remained wholesome; with glorious leaf colour, the enchanting sound of rustling phragmites, happy shiny people sucking all the air out of the park, and then bang, while not a dead body exactly your short introduced the main character, hungover, suffering the aftermath of too many bad chipmunks at the party and a closing scene of a partially decomposed corpse. All the elements of an intriguing trailer. Who was that wasted heron? Is there a bad chipmunk problem in the park? So many questions ... unanswered. This forum may be a casualty of mass disinterest but you will always have my attention. Three cheers for Charline! What's your next project? Oh, I see, that's to be kept under wraps, for now.
