"305"A hilarious take of the epic tale of the 300 from Holecheck Pictures, it follows the misfortunes of five Spartan soldiers who's task it is to gaurd a goat gate, how difficult could that be? Like the '300' movie, 305 was filmed entirely against green screen with backgrounds and composits done in post with superb results. It is well written and briliantly observed comedy not to be missed. See photo above.
