'Nurse' Short Film Controversy

2007-04-04T18:57:00.001+01:00

The unavoidable controversy that my short film Nurse causes everytime someone points it out, began a new chapter last week, when conservative "pro-lifer" Jill Stanek posted the video on her website. The showing of the film provoked a long chain of reactions, which is still growing and has already surpassed the 100 comments. I would like to thank Jill for posting my short on her popular site, and of course all those who are participating in such an interesting debate. I won't give my view on the subject, though. It's in the film itself :-)
