Griff, a shy and awkward office worker by day, finds escape from his ordinary life by assuming the identity of a fantastic superhero each night. Griff's secret is jeopardized when he meets Melody, a cute but unconventional daydreamer. She quickly becomes fascinated by his idiosyncrasies, which are equal only to her own. In the face of mounting pressure to live in the "real world," it's up to Melody to rescue Griff for the sake of herself, Griff and their new found love for each other.

Special Features

• Commentary with Writer/Director Leon Ford, Producer Nicole O'Donohue and Actor Patrick Brammall. This is an engaging, if low key, commentary that gets into how Ford came up with the idea for the film, through casting and production. There's some nice mention of the fun song score which underlies several scenes, as well as the great location footage.
• Behind the Scenes Featurette (1080i; 4:09) is a pretty standard form promo piece which plays as an extended trailer.
• Anatomy of a Scene actually presents dissections of three scenes, Opening Sequence (HD; 3:17), All in One Shot (HD; 2:17), and Anyhoo (HD; 2:01). All of these feature storyboards and rehearsals intercut with final version footage. The most interesting of these is probably All in One Shot, which documents the nice tracking shot which revolves around Griff as the truth about his environment is revealed late in the film. It's nice to see such lo-fi practical effects being accomplished on the fly.
• Deleted Scenes (HD; 7:37) has some fun stuff, though all of these play out with timecode captions filling up the top part of the frame.
• Appear Calm: Diary of a First Time Director features three elements, Pre-Production (HD; 1:26), The Shoot (HD; 3:12) and Post-Production (HD; 2:43). These are certainly enjoyable, but they're all too brief and anecdotal to really provide much real information.
• Rain Stops Play (1080i; 1:17) is a kind of fun Abbott and Costello-esque set of ad libs between Ford and Brammall.
• Patrick's Set Tour (1080i; 1:25) has Brammall giving us a brief tour of the backlot.
• Music Video by The Shadow Bureau (HD; 3:38)
