The short is fantastic as far as technical acuity is concerned. There was only one shot that i didn't care for. That was the one right before he sets down the picture of his girlfriend.

Other than that I thought everything was great in this department. The shots, the lighting, even the black and white worked for the short, rather than against it.The story, unfortunately, is not really a story. There's no beginning, no middle, and I suppose one could argue there is an end. I see random snipets of a paranoid person's life concluded by some guy or thing or whatever clicking off a TV. Argue away, but that's the extent of the depth of the story.My suggestion is that on your next adventure in filmmaking to really work on your script and your story. I think if you can come up with one you like and really tighten it, and make sure that there is a plot, that you'll have something really great to share with the world. Keep at it.read
The opening credits were well shot. I don't know necessarily if the knife should have been the focal point of the establishment. It's a bit misleading that way. In any case, the story itself is well told and worth watching. The script did not allow for a lot of interaction between characters, but perhaps it's best that way. The high number of insert shots gave it kind...The opening credits were well shot. I don't know necessarily if the knife should have been the focal point of the establishment.

The high number of insert shots gave it kind of a jilted feel, but it works for the story. The music was perfect. The ambient noises worked great too. All in all, it's a good short worth watching.read
This is not really my type of film, but regardless I can't complain, really, in any facet. Everything was very well done. There are so many ways that you could have had the actors play it to give it a certain dynamic. It's hard to say if one would have been better than another, but the way you had them perform it was fine. The music complimented it nicely and, as it has...This is not really my type of film, but regardless I can't complain, really, in any facet. Everything was very well done.

It's hard to say if one would have been better than another, but the way you had them perform it was fine. The music complimented it nicely and, as it has been noted in other reviews, the music was a good addition. The only thing that I felt should have been done differently was the lighting. It had a very plain feel to it which again is a choice. I just feel that the film could have greatly benefited from a more cinematic palette.read

This film tackles an issue that anyone who's ever been on a first date at the movies has dealt with. It's well directed and nicely done.A short film in the true sense of the word.Keep up the great work!I marked Camera and Editing as non-applicable since there really is none of either invovled.
