I am loving your style. I appreciate the simple character moments that let the audience breath and think. I really like the camera movements and your choice in cinematography. I feel like your actors all are novice but your find ways to let them say so much in their movements and facial expressions. Very well done.

2nd to that.

I also love the simplicity of the music, or rather the use of slience... only 2 notes in the first 20 seconds completely setting an atmosphere.

I like how in this piece and also in "A Thousand Words" you use technology as a potential bridge for a quiet moment of connection between two people.

I loved "A Thousand Words" and I love this one too. Thoughtful, it is shown not told. With so few words, it could be shown in many languages...

I don't like this. I love it. One thing I found interesting, and this is picky stuff, was the Font used: Times New Romans...people don't usually use that font on videos.

You definitely have a handle on the angle of unexpected unrequited love. “The artist writes, paints, sings or dances the burden of some idea or feeling off his mind.”

This is great. the feel of European art house in conjunction with hollywood mainstream. This one reminds me of "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" but with less dialogue.

I too dream of making a short as such one day.
Great work. Keep it up!

Ted,
Again this is brilliant like Thousand Words. You should definitely put these films up on IndieGoGo.com. The site could help you connect with people and expose them to your films.

Hi Ted

I watched A Thousand Words a few months ago and thought it was great and have just discovered Mike's and On Time today. Three excellent films with really interesting small stories told very well with flair and style. You have a great reel, would love to see more.
