i remember my relationship whit my father...we are not bad or something but "yellow room scenes" give the feeling of father authority perfectly.

bravo...bravo...bravo!
Paddy Lane 10 months ago

Love it! The sound in it, especially in the scene with the father is very tastefully done. It makes me feel on edge, exactly how it should do. Also as I was watching it, parts of the forestry reminded me of Brendan and the Secret of Kells film which is one of my favourites. Then I saw Tomm's name on the credits! Anyway well done, cannot be faulted!
adrien merigeau 10 months ago

thank you! - yes this film was produced by the same people and made in the same studio as the secret of kells. Tomm did a couple of animation scenes, and Ross Stewart, the art director of The Secret of Kells, even did a few backgrounds, it was really lovely to have them around!

The emotional depth, the subtlety and every aspect of the art including the timing is just amazing. While it really grabs you. Love it. How are you going to distribute it ?
adrien merigeau 10 months ago

I actually don't know about the film's distribution, its a bit complicated as it's taken care of by the Irish Film Board who funded the film, and i don't know about their plan, so far i've only been following the festivals. Thanks for your lovely comment

great work!
Jean-Sebastien Monzani 10 months ago

Bravo! That's quite something.

I see a lot of art everyday and I'm not often as impressed by something as this video.

I think that the characters are excellent and add depth and different levels to the story. Sound design is original and very interesting and of course, backgrounds and mood are exceptional and marvelous.

I was just a little skeptical about the photos that we sometimes see: they don't really "fit" into the movie for me.

Congratulation to all of you for this very original piece!
