Viewing Notes

Someone on Twitter shared a download link for this student film by Christopher Nolan so I pulled it down and watched it. It’s fine. If I had seen this and not know it was Nolan I probably wouldn’t have guessed… well, if you told me guess maybe I’d throw Nolan’s name out there. Apparently he’s actively having it taken down whenever it goes up on YT.
