well done... 
Matthew Kalish
A classic tale indeed. Nice. The music was a bit distracting though at points and the story was strong enough without it but great job. 
Sophie Boyce
Enjoyed that, but I thought the music perhaps didn't fit in.... But really good story and actors! 
Ghalied
Thanks! Your comments are much appreciated!  
michelle pretorius
loved your actors! kim brilliant. michelle(emigre) 
Kirill Belooussov
Interesting story - conflict definitely. One thing though audio have an horrible BG noise... You should have either try to use more fills between the dialogue line rather then fading-in and out. But better solution I'd say would be a Noise Reduction. One of those two would make your movie 2 times better... Otherwise 3.8/5 
Ghalied
Yep, I had massive problems with my sound. It was recorded way too low so I couldn't really get away from the background noise in parts. Definitely schooling myself more on sound for my next film.
