Hi xippyxippo, yes that's correct about the story and also the film just depends on how you interpret it. The idea is of him moving on from his past and he has now finally accepted it.
Good stuff here! I felt the "Sixth Sense" ending coming on but I thought you did real well for a beginner film. A few things off with what a shrink would really say (but then again, if the shrink was imaginary, makes up for it), but well done! Nice short!
