it took me a second to get into this one, but i ended up laughing to it. i hope that was the point.

Yea, it was a little slow in the begining. Probably because I had a hard time understanding the narrator lol. But it was fun, and I liked your shots.

Just curious, did you get this inspiration from the movie "Cast Away"? Tom Hanks became best friends wiith his volley ball, and that ball drifted away in the water too. I saw a big resemblance between the 2 films when the ball fell into the water, and you told it to come back, haha. It was cool though.

That's pretty good, man.

You definitely had me smiling, which is certainly no easy feat.

Looked pretty well-shot, too.

never even thought of that but now that you mention it ya the two would be similar.

Where I got inspiration from was a ball I found under the stairs and thought "what if this ball was the only possession a man had"
