Reviews
I love the aesthetics of this short film...It elicits some deep emotions in the viewers. Everything seems to be planned and taken care of. You notice it by looking at the color palette that introduces the mood
Beautiful shots throughout the whole thing. Cinematic masterpiece. Really looking forward to the longer version of the story as I am now invested in these characters.
Trauma is an important topic to recognize as all human beings experience it. So this short film will leave you wondering, which I love!
A sharp allegory on regret and time well spent. Fantastic work by Johnattan and team to create an entertaining story with the perfect dash of darkness and mystery.
Johnattan’s vision is absolutely breathtaking in this short! So beautifully done!!! Truly a wonderful short and the imagery is absolutely stunning. A real sense of danger and conflict throughout. So much to impact.
