Taglines: Violence is the voice of the unheard, and we do not listen, we can encourage it's speech. Consequences. Life and death are about choices, actions and consequences. Can you handle that choice? Can you handle that? If redemption means anything, it should mean that when people try, we must try with them. People's lives do get better when people get involved.

Plot: He was a small town rock star with a big time future, but the army smashed his guitar with a gun. Based on a true story about my brother who took his own life rather than fight an unjust war on the South African border during Apartheid. It's a short film which is made after a crowd funding campaign to bring the issue of enforced conscription for boys of 17 plus in SA to light during Apartheid. My brother died on the border when he refused to fight against people he refused to see as enemies. His death has never left me and I made this short to raise funds for the feature we hope to make soon.

Alastair Davies: I want you to paint me... a Rembrandt.::Harry Donovan: [pause] But only Rembrandt can paint Rembrandt.

Harry Donovan: I'm not a shoe-maker, and I don't work for slobs off the street. I work with people that I know. You can leave now.::Alastair Davies: It's a circular problem.::Harry Donovan: Now, do I have to knock your ass down the stairs?::Alastair Davies: No, no. Gentlemen. Um, we'll be staying at the Carlyle until, uh, Sunday. Think it over.::Harry Donovan: Watch your fingers.::[Harry slams the door shut as they leave]

Prof. Marieke van den Broeck: How do you like the book?::Harry Donovan: I don't like books.::Prof. Marieke van den Broeck: Just look at the pictures?::Harry Donovan: Yeah, ever since I was a little boy.

Harry Donovan: I just don't understand why you guys have to sit here and piss on other people, let alone Rembrandt.::Cafe intellectual: Professor Scheerding *proved* that the painting, The Man With The Golden Helmet, is just a cheap fake.::Prof. Scheerding: I'm sure you know that, uh, in 1930 there were over 800 *supposed* Rembrandts.::Harry Donovan: And now we're down to 241, thanks to you and your friends - and dropping. So, bully for you! Every schoolkid's favorite picture is now junk, because some self-appointed windbag has said so. You know, the problem is, in 10 years time there's not gonna be *any* Rembrandts. Just a big pile of *theses*.::Prof. Scheerding: We have said something to offend you?::Harry Donovan: Me? I'm never offended by flatulence. I just move away from its smell. Bye.

Harry Donovan: When are you gonna realize that all of this art crap is a fraud? Otherwise, how could the same picture be worth $10 million or zip based on, what, a signature? Rembrandt is priceless. Donovan is worthless. That's not art. That's autographs.

Harry Donovan: Do you have any money?::Prof. Marieke van den Broeck: Why, you want to steal it?::Harry Donovan: Yes.
