Bill loves Jane and she loves him, but in this small town, many are jealous of Bill, especially the volunteer firefighters. Bill calls them cowards, puts out fires by himself, and doesn't cooperate with small-town church values. The local pastor and others conspire against him, and soon Bill has suffered the loss of his arms and other injuries. His old friend Paul stitches him back together, giving him tin arms, then a tin body. Soon, Bill still has his heart, but the rest of him is tin.

| User ReviewSean OAll aspects of this short film were perfect to me. I'm a huge fan. |
| User ReviewAnthony CA wonderful take on a classic, made that much better because of Zoe |
| User ReviewJonathan SBeautifully done. The story made me tear up, probably the most satisfying ending a movie could ever have. The emotions are so unreal and real at the same time, wish I could own it myself. |
| User ReviewDan MYou start with an asshole fireman and his disgraced engineer friend and you end with a tinman saving his bodysuit from Evangelists. And then the rapture happens. |
| User ReviewColron CThis was a fun, funny, and visually rich movie. A great retelling of a longer story in short form. Its easy to get into, and theirs lots to get out of it. |
| User ReviewSev OOutstanding B&W short film; a great short film and Honorable Mention winner at the 2007 Sundance festival; a poignant, profound and frivolous pastiche, with great indy scripting and cinametography. Looking forward to further great work from Ray Tintori. |
| User Reviewshannyn bSaw this at SXSW 2007 and was entranced by the music (took me two years to locate a soundtrack!). Good little short film |
| User ReviewKathy KExcellent short film. It looks super-low budget, but it's great that way. |
| User ReviewPrivate UA short film with killer music and dazzling cinematography that creates an almost reminiscent feel. This film wraps up the Wizard of Oz, 1984 and Rebel Without a Cause all set in a modern small town. Short, sweet, humorous and epic. |
