You are amazing. I loved this movie. It was better then I expected, being on Lifetime and all.

Seriously people NEED to watch this amazing film.

Onto the Vid!!! Loved it. I loved the black and white with the in color, the edits were so well done, the audio was perfect for this. The song really fits too.

Now I want to watch it. Glad I own it.

Thank you sooo much! I was worried that I wouldn't get ANY comments on this cause no-one seems to have even heard of this movie. Glad there's another fan out there! When I was making this vid, it felt like I was making a little love letter to how much I loved it. And yay - glad you liked my colouring cause it took me forever to work out how to get it to look like that. It's easy to make the red's stand out, but I really wanted to pick out the strong blues in the sky and the water.

I feel the same way!! I've told SO many people about this movie but they still wont watch it.

Glad to see someone else loved it too!! It was just perfect, I wish more people knew of it. I watched it on TV about two years ago and when I saw it was going to be on DVD in my mind I did a blackflip. Thank you for making this vid!!

Great vid, Freya! I've never heard of this movie (I'm actually not even sure if it's ever been released here in Germany), but I liked you vid! I love the simple, yet effective beauty of your editing and the wonderful colouring.

Great job! Makes me want to see this movie!

Aww Brooke! Seriously, you're so sweet! And thanks Karolina. I'm so glad you liked it! It only got a very limited release I think. Actually, I think it might have only been shown at a couple of little indie film festivals. I just downloaded it randomly a couple of years ago and fell in love with it! I can't believe it didn't get a wider release. If you ever have the oppourtunity to see, definitely do! Every frame of it is just goreous!

Oh my god, I LOVE this movie!! I just watched it a month ago and thought it was incredible. I really wanted to vid it and there are so little vids on Youtube, so I'm so happy to see you've made one! Great job! I really loved the black and white background with the color foreground. And the voiceovers were fantastic. The song was perfect for them.

This was really lovely Freya. I remember watching this movie and now I want to watch it again! Awesome job.

Aww thanks you guys! And yeah, there really is a major shortage of Elvis and Anabelle vids out there. I'm thinking of doing another vid for them soon, maybe with 500 Days of Summer thrown in aswell.

Really beautiful coloring! That black and white with a touch of color really worked well for this one and gave it such a nice, dreamy feel. Great work, I enjoyed it!

I'm not familiar with the film, but I felt like the song fit your video very well and you told a beautiful story. I enjoyed your video.I also really liked the partial black and white effect you used.
