  Quite good fun
  A review of CE3R

  This was quite good fun. Film was cleanly shot. Lighting and sound were clean. Editing was slick and pacing was fine. I really liked the Nazi mashed potato and the choice of word "hopefully" at the end. Both made me smile.

  The only thing that didn't work for me really was the choice of the Nazis as the source of Utopia. Whilst watching it I couldn't quite work out why this was meant to be a source of Utopia for the young man. There are obviously a lot of political connatations and getting laughs from Adolf is difficult.
  
  Obviously, I understood your choice, when the the title page appears at the end. But for me this title gag was not quite strong enough to justify the time I had spent a little confused by what was happening in the main story.
  
  But overall a fun watch. Best of luck.

  A review of A Spill

  This is a fun short movie. It looks great and the fact you've told the story in visuals makes this feel like a piece of cinema. The story is capably plotted. You set-up the premise efficiently and move quickly to the fun gag at the end. The actual punchline made me smile. It works quite well. Don't have too much constructive too say. Camera and lighting are fine. The... This is a fun short movie. It looks great and the fact you've told the story in visuals makes this feel like a piece of cinema.

  Don't have too much constructive too say. Camera and lighting are fine. The acting was competent. Music whilst not particularly memorable did not deter.
  
  Overall, a simple idea well executed. Well done. Recommend. read

  Well put together
  A review of Christmas Cookies

  I enjoyed much of this short film. It is nicely shot. I loved the saturated colour with all the red and the slight hue to the photography. It all adds to the commercial feel to the piece. The facial expressions of the mother were particularly fun. Visually the "perfect" family is well conceived and presented concisely back to the viewer. Only downside really was a lack...

  Visually the "perfect" family is well conceived and presented concisely back to the viewer.
  
  Only downside really was a lack of motivation for the punchline....not entirely sure why she wanted to do that? So the ending was fun, but the twist didn't quite have the impact it could have had....
  
  Overall, though a fun and clever short. Cheers. read
