Frank D'Angelo is the adult equivalent of a little boy who gives the other kids his toys so they'll play with him. Vanity project doesn't begin to describe this... it's more of an incoherent jumble of scenes imagined by a loner who finished "watching and studying HUNDREDS of movies" (his words, not mine) and thought, "yeah I can do that". And what if that weird, awkward loner then actually had the follow-through and money to hire some old castaways who used to act sometimes and make a feature length image and sound collage (this is no movie)... If that sounds like it could be interesting, then you're on the wrong track. Pure garbage. and at over 2 hrs it's the longest D'Angelo project I've fast forwarded through.
