    very nice, it would not have looked as good on video, really nice use of celluloid.

    Hi. I liked it a lot. But then I was waiting for something to happen. If only a slight thing. But the way you portrait two sisters living together and sharing a bond, was touching. Well done. Keep on filming!

    I love how it feels like it is leading towards something. Like they are spending their last day together. The last shot with one of the sisters looking away and the other almost wanting something from her is perfect.

    Thanks Jay! Appreciate it.

    I agree with Jay (and I'd have to say I kinda' disagree with Paul), it feels like it might be leading towards something. Maybe it's the score, or the way the two girls carry themselves.

    But when you lose someone you love... nothing happens. Maybe that's the hardest part. There's not usually closure... they're gone before you get that satisfaction.

    i didn't realize this was shot in ann arbor until 2:05 when i recognized the floral backdrop.

    nice, moody film.
  • mike ambs plus 2 years ago
    Same thing here :) I was watching and then I thought 'hey, I know that wall'.

    This was very beautiful - I liked the score, I think the flashing and the jump-cuts were kind of nice... seemed nostalgic that way.

    Who was the editor for this film?
  • Benjamin Dell plus 1 year ago
    sorry for the late reply (7 months haha). It was a group effort on the editing.

    This is just fantastic in every form and element I can think of, very powerful and gentle. The actresses were just perfect, so good.
