Right on the nose, Adam. Before I started writing, I suddenly remembered Mirror Image. I double-checked the structure of my story and felt it was too similar (subconsciously inspired?). So Sean and I started listing ways in which my story could be different, especially the ending.

I just seen the Twilight Zone Episode that you probably got the idea from. It was titled Mirror Image. And although this was almost a copy of a work done almost fifty years ago, I have to say it came off very original. Very compelling. My only complaint on it was that it was to short. I’d would have loved to see another 2 to 4 minutes more after Sean closes the door on Peter. Just to set up the real reality that it is in fact Peter # 2, just a small dialogue of Sean thinking Peter was messing with him and just a little past midway through he realizes that it is a double. Or Sean getting mad that Peter may be pranking him and throws him out, only to cut to the scene where Peter finds Sean’s double… I don’t know…. Just some ideas.. But regardless very nice piece of work.. and thanks for sharing it.

[...] Or sometimes when I’m enjoying a long, hot shower. Just like Peter’s character in The Midnight Stroll says, “Try a hot shower. That always works for me.” December 9, 2009 [...]

“does a double knows it’s a double?” sounds like blade runner.
does a replicant know it’s a replicant?

Come on Peter, sleep on Sean’s bed! ;p

I loved this! I think all the shots were very nice. The shot of Sean pacing felt a little awkward, maybe it could be nicer if it were tighter. The story was simple yet very entertaining. Keep it up!

great job, spooky ending. It really seems like it may have been from twilight zone.

Hehe, it was about 2am when I “slammed” the door, so I didn’t want to wake my parents up

Thanks for the comments! They’re our motivation

Dig it! I really enjoyed how peter so nonchalantly suggests that it may have been a “dimensional rift”…as if that happens all the time! Ending was great. Thanks for the great vid guys!

Nice! Reminds me a bit of my “Deja Veca” short.
I kind of wanted the last shot of Sean to have him a little more rude.

Good job again guys.
