Absolutely brilliant. You've made an excellent work. Although the plot is something you're use to (people who meet in the Internet to do something weird) and you can guess how this could end, the great acting and the atmosphere you've created keep you watching it to the end.

Really excellent. Beautifully shot and the sound design adds so much to the tension. Enjoyed ever last minute.

My god, thats stunning! You captured soo much aspects of humanity's complexities of the mind,that we are all so oblivious about, but you made it seem clear, and understandable.

This is front page material. Top notch.

Absolutely great work!!!

It is obvious that you have chosen the right vocational direction, a perfect match for your skills and knowledge.

Extremely well done your degree should be secured. A positive and lucrative future awaits.

is fantastic work!!!!

wow, that was incredible. I loved the cinematography and everything was really well done. I especially like the focus style. Just brilliant.

A Cut Above The Others.

i like it at 5:29, 7:42 and 9:50.

This is very inspiring...It was intriguing from start to finish with no dead or boring moments. Thank you for sharing! I look forward to seeing more of your work.

The sound of the rain. I'm moved.

Love it! Such a skillful film making. Bravo to you all.

I enjoyed this film very much. But I feel as if I may have missed the point of the plot. Was it so subtle that I didn't get it. One would assume that they were there for sex but then again, as most plots go here on Vimeo, the obvious plot turns into being something else entirely. Was there something else?

Wow, very intense. Kept me guessing throughout. Great attention to detail regarding story, motion, camera angles, composition, and flow. Well done!

Compelling and beautiful .. a masterclass in all areas of the craft.

Therefore I am sorry that I did not buy the downbeat ending .

Bob

Wow! Absolutely beautiful!! I love everything... the cinematography, the acting, the sound design... really great stuff!

This has to be one of the most amazing things I have seen here if not THE most amazing...

Shooting and edit = incredible
As an actor myself, watching actors through brilliant direction do amazing and simple things without seeing the work lifts my spirits as an artist.

This was truly extraordinary...

There is so much more I could say but the comments section here would not give me ample space to express it...

You're an actor's dream and I applaud you with a standing ovation!

thats horribly depressing

Simply great. From every aspect. Story line is very depressing ... but stuff like this really happens I guess.

Outstanding!

veramente bello... fotografia curata al dettaglio.. auguri per il tuo lavoro!!

wow that was brilliant, photography was top notch....sound design i thought was really really good...loved it!

I have been telling that joke all day. It's funny. Kudos to the writer. Love the ink on her palm. Love the feeling that as uneasy as I was watching, they seemed pretty comfortable with each other even though something scary was about to go down. She could be big. They both could. You are the most talented guy I have seen on Vimeo to date. Keep it up!

Wow Adam that was beautifully shot, created and put together and a very slow-burning fuse like story line. Great on many levels. It really is sadly dark and that's one of the reasons we make films I know. Without getting into much depth here was it from a true story? I'm wondering where your inspiration came from. On one level pretty sad to imagine but then in another sense it happens every day, wondering if this started from a newspaper story. Regardless excellently done, doesn't make me feel great but then that's the range of power in the medium. Well done...

WOW awesome! great job~ fantastic graphic. the color. the girl was acting well.
What's the music which the guy played inside the car. where shall I find?
thanx for sharing it!!! really like it.

wow great work!!! depressing as all hell but hey. awesome. thanks so much for sharing!

why would you waste such talent making something so dull. Have we become so interested in morbid things? Brings sorrow to my soul. What's the point?

I felt such emotional connection to everything. I actually teared up at the end. This is fantastic and so touching. Very impressive!!!! :)

I had my moment in my life where I commited suicide.
To vanish from this suffering life. I've tried it few times in my life and I failed.
I know what exactly the feeling to come to a final decision's like that. We all go through rough time in our life. We can really say what is what in this life, when the person is deciede to end all the story's in this life but for sure there are lot of suffering and constantly asking us to drop our expectaion of our life but to appreciate them. Not easy but this is our life. I gain my strenght back when I deciede to do my very best in this life to appreciate the life as it is. Untill that moment was created I had to walk on the dark and had to be a shamed of myself. Not no more through those wonderful experience. Life say's " If it doesn't kill you, than you will only be stronger"
It is a touching because it is all in us and it is good to talk about out in the light.
Lovely sharing and wonderful meeting you my dear friend Adam Burr.

Your friend emily eunjue hayes

kool

Adam, excelente realización, ojalá la puedas subtitular al español para poder recomendarla a otras personas,
la sutileza de la actuación, el trabajo de la imagen, los sonidos atmosféricos, y el final no me lo esperaba así, algunos lo encuentran deprimente, yo lo encuentro preciso...
muy buena, no me voy a olvidar facilmente de ella,
gracias

Beautiful film, Adam. Nice work. Kudos to another NW Filmmaker!

Very powerful stuff here. Well executed in all aspects. Good luck in your future.

Why can't let us download the careful onlooking

Great Film. But the whole topic of suicide just cuts me to the bone. I can't understand why, why sucide. Even though shit at the moment may be a torturous hell, things will always change, and there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. You may not see it now, may not believe it will ever be there, but if you hold on, it will come around and things will get better and better. There is always a better tomorrow. You just may have to wade through a lot of shitty todays to get there. But get there you will. Hang On. Life is worth hanging onto.

epic work wow, that really was stunning! great crew

stunning job. i love not being able to figure out a story and you kept me guessing. then, when I felt I knew these characters better I didn't want to see them go.

Only if I could exactly express how I liked every second of what I watched just now...............BRILLIANT....to put it in a nut shell

Astonishing work. Mesmerizing in every frame.

Hi Adam! What a great short! Very inspiring and emotional. Great acting and dialoque!
I have a question: The final scene where the car is filling with gas...is the gain used a an effect or to alter the light condition? Or did you add this grainy look in post? Thank you for your reply and I'm looking forward to see your future projects! Take care, Hans

Between the restrictive cinematography and the balanced pace of the story, I haven't been so wound up inside a short film in a good long while. Great work, Adam Burr.

really enjoy it.. the dialogue is great.. and story

i hope to see more of your films. this was so excellent. thank you for sharing it with us!

From one to another when peeps say why suicide? All aspects of human nature should be explored, this was one aspect, the next film may be entirely different. I loved it, dark subject and all! Great filmmaking. We would be less human without all facets of our personalities explored.

Wow such a tough subject matter. Absolutely stunning photography, poignant story and brilliant execution. Excellent stuff!

WOW, that was brilliant. It keeps you in suspense from the beginning, when you could think that they came to the woods for totally different reason than on the end.
Very sad story. Even the joke was very sad.
Please give us some hope. Make a sequel. Let the car run out of gas.....
Great cinematography. Very good acting in both sides. Camera work, sound just perfect. The whole crew made fantastic work.
Adam I wish you luck in your carrier.

I was thinking about the story.
I believe that in real life, they would try to help each other.
Even when someone is suicidal, hearing that someone else wants to commit suicide, he would try to change his mind.

This was exceptional! It completly entranced me in the cinematography, and the acting was SOLID! Was this shot on film?

one of the finest shorts I've ever seen

Awesome! The film keeps your attention, makes you think something different, and in the end you see the true , and in this end you feel scared. I really do not like this theme, who likes (?), but the work is brilliant! HUGS!

I agree with most of the comments above. This is an absolutely brilliantly composed short. Beautiful and well told. Congrats.

Wow. Very "monday". I hate mondays but liked this a lot!

Yes, Monday, six month ago on Monday I lost my son in the afternoon, he left his homework on the floor.
The video is excellent from execution to topic.
It is hard, I never thought I have to live through such circumstance. I want to scream.
Definitely will be in my favorites list. Thank you Adam.
BTW, did you use SLR camera?

I totally "get it".

kudos!

wow... i'm honestly speechless.

Amazing. It kept me watching carefully the entire time. Each minute changed my theory of how it would end, yet the outcome was somehow different of anything I tho' before. Also, the acting and script felt very natural. Awesome.

The part where she told the joke was my favorite. Not because it was funny, it was not, but because there is so much behind it.

One minimal thing that bothered me was the part around 5:25. Each dialog sentence zoomed them in closely with a blurry effect, back-to-back, and it got annoying after seen the same effect like 5 times in a row.

Overall, I really like it. I'm totally gonna show this around, it's incredibly well done. Kudos!

This is really great stuff, genuine and pure, beautiful and soulful. Just as cinematic magic should be

Hi this is Brilliant.I am an wanabe film maker trying to start up with small works.I am thinking of investing some money to buy good camera and lenses and equipment.
I loved your work and thats exactly how I want my film to look like.
My budget is $5000 to $6000 .It would be of great help if you can let us know what you used to shoot and if there are any recommendations that fits my budget.

Pleassseee help.I am struggling.Thanks in advance.

tres beau travail

This is sooooo good.... :-)

This was great, kept you guessing the entire time, has this been submitted to any festivals? If not, you should, audiences will go crazy of this film. Grade A stuff.

Hey Adam, wonderful film! I'd love to see more from you, keep it up! What was this shot with?

Hey Adam, I'm shock with your work. It's fucking amazing.
Just a question, can you tell me in what format and what camera you shot with (it's hd with 35 mm adapter or just hd?)
Thanks & congratulations!!!!

Amazing work. Storyline characters, ambiance, suspense editing, light, sound, everything is incredibly well done...You can be proud of this film !!!
Definitly one of the best short I have ever seen...
