kevin: very simple and effective--i appreciated the piece on an emotional level and i liked the visuals as well. i knew what the ending would be (roughly) and it still worked for me. i wish the film was longer because the father says he'll be home (the last time) and we don't get a sense that he didn't make it but that something else has happened (wife left him, an accident, etc.) but it's a bit unclear. still, overall its and effective short film! nl {Jury Member}
