    I want to congratz on the grading, it's superb gives a bleach dark feeling, even in the homes the lack of warm colors is ominent.

    regarding the story, it feels like it wants to betray a chaos theory or butterfly effect, that every little thing escalates as it goes throu the chains of characters.

    but in the end you must be responsible for your own actions regardless what is inflicted on you prior.

    nice short, I wonder if it's shot w/ a Nikon or Canon camera that can shoot movies.

  • I've loved the 3 trailers and I've definitely been waiting for the feature. It's awesome, subtle, moving and tense.
    In the end I guess we want more, it almost feels like a long feature film extended trailer.

    It's amazing how quickly you get involved with these characters. I really enjoyed the seemingly linear narrative, then to realize part way through that time was distorted. This is an excellent piece. You should submit it to the Vimeo Awards - vimeo.com/awards

    The ending was so anti-climatic. Great build up though. Beautiful.
  • Kwaku Nyantekyi 10 months ago
    I thought the exact same thing about the ending. But great work nonetheless.
  • indeed, but i liked it. maybe ´cause it´s like the end of a life. like the inner silence after a great sex. like life. a contemplative ending. i liked it. it´s subtle.

    You, and your crew, certainly have a bucket load of talent.

    Superbly crafted and realised by Director and cast -
    But, by heaven, a bleak and pessimistic scenario.

    From the three trailers I was moved.
    You really captured a part of inner city london that many people do not know exist. With the organic sounds and grade on the image.
    You really show London is not all about the royal family and cups of tea!
    TRULY OUTSTANDING! GREAT WORK!

    The end with the efervescent water is a great direction call... Like this a lot, though I feel that the black guys character doesn't really intertwines with the other two, not in the same direct way it happens with the boy and girl and I felt that missing.
