clips
the clips listed here are available as quicktime movies at two quality levels each.

choose your type of internet connection to get the best result: the faster your connection, the higher the quality of the clip, obviously.  (you really need a broadband connection for this.  if you're on dial-up, it's virtually not worth it and we've not put any low resolution clips on here because the film is meant for a big screen anyway. these are just tasters.)

if your media player can't handle the quicktime format, you may need to download a quicktime player which you can do for free.

still got problems?  get hold of the dvd instead.

twenty-six takes on life without allen is a genuine no-budget project: nobody ever sat down and worked out how much it would cost to make this film, either before, during or after the film was shot.  since everybody gave their time for free and locations and props were used pretty much as we found them (with a few notable exceptions, such as the sequence called 'drowning') we think we spent around five thousand pounds sterling all told.
