                                "This short film does not push the envelope of 
                                cult personality and distortion of media; 
                                neither does it break the bonds of false 
                                exaggeration. Rather it enfolds it. It's a game 
                                of confidence. What if you couldn't tell the 
                                difference between what was real and what was 
                                not?  What if you could get away with 
                                something and everyone seemingly believed you?  
                                Sometimes it doesn't matter who you are, it's 
                                who they think you are."
