Versions alternatives
There is an earlier version of "Checking In" that screened at some festivals, about a minute longer. Main differences are a shorter credit sequence and the removal of a series of experimental shots/editing introducing The Thief and the Scorpion, that many who saw the film compared favorably to Ang Lee.

Best Gelder film I've seen

This I would say is THE BEST film on Gelder's "Steve Gelder presents 4 short films" DVD!!

A scorpion crosses the road. Not sure why the scorpion is in, but it's done artistically and enjoyably and adds production value in my eyes. Then, a guy with a scorpion drawn on his wrist arrives at a motel to rob it, and then the twists and tails start.

Gelder's writing style is very sharp and well thought out, with subtle humor throughout - now THIS is the style I can enjoy! His twists in his stories are soowheet! Really great writing.

Gelder is also clearly someone with a touch of art in him, which adds a lot of production value to his movies. Many things are either just there for artistic touch, or done artistically.

Sometimes when I watch indie films, I'm like grrrrrr, obvious mistake there! Steve Gelder's films don't have that. His has very high production values.

Checking In is written fantastically, executed fantastically, I loved it! :) Best Gelder film I've ever seen.
