In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Cactuses (2006)
A drama directed by Matt Hannon.
A carpet cleaner is called back a few times to the same place. He steals presents from the place that he is cleaning, but the woman invites him to stay at her house when he loses his job and has nowhere else to go. He tries to be a better person, but it backfires on him.
This was apparently made by High School students and intended to be "shared" on the internet. The plot and characters were good and the production value was amazingly good, considering the circumstances under which it was made. There was a lot of wind noise on the microphones, but it didn't spoil the sound too badly. The style was very "independent film" and I liked that. I'm rating this good. The High School kids did a good job.
