Another low budget movie, deprived of it's potential by measly economics.

The 4k is mock 4k film grain (Expression 500T) created by a friend of mine - it has no damage, just perfect fine grain at 25p. 5 second loop of uncompressed grain. works magic - specially on the background defocus and helps with moire too.[/quote]
Thanks. Sounds good.
