"This short film screened in Austin in September 2003 at Cinematexas 8, a short film festival with Todd in attendance. It is a must see for Haynes fans. The young actor who plays Rimbaud is a real hottie. Todd watched the film with us and told us Laura Linney, who went to Brown with him in the 80's, is an extra in the opening dance scene...."

The featurette was the graduation project for Haynes from Brown University, where he studied Semiotics in the English Department with Professor Michael Silverman, a series of courses he later described as a mixture of Marx Freud, and Feminism.
