And why are all the monologues from men - most of whom aren't even attractive? Rule number one of mainstream marketing is, Put a pretty girl on the cover.

And ditto, what everyone else said about the music, lack of smiles, and paradigm shifts.

Re-shoot. But first, think about it. Your budget should have little to do with your thought process.
Yeah, I did city stuff to show how big, big business is, so it would resonate how intense it is for small business to beat them. I chose the music and told the actors to be serious to give the same effect. I'm not a director or have a very artistic mind I just envisioned something that seemed shocking, dramatic, and mysterious.

If small business did beat corporations for once that would be unbelievably shocking.

I realized I didn't use a girl the day after. Damn it! I'll do new version with some hot chicks when I'm in Costa Rica for sure.

I wouldn't claim it's even close to a masterpiece, for $40 and an hour of editing though, I think it's pretty awesome. And if small business does take over someday (fingers crossed) maybe it will get put in a library.
