  • Reminiscent Films 2 months ago
    This is Beautiful! I loved it!!
    It is interesting how narratives have conditioned our minds to connect things and infer an integral story in everything.
    This is an example that defies that. This was a trick on us, wasn't it?
    My mind constantly kept trying to make connections in the film...creating what Blake Whitman calls 'emotional suspense'.

    incredible work guys, love the modern spin. I recently witnessed the birth of my daughter and cannot imagine not having a place or assistance with that process. Also, that camera is every bit as amazing as I expected. Looks FANTASTIC. Again, outstanding.
