Very good. Very realistic plot and presented with realistic costumes and survival techniques for the basis of the concepts. Even the advanced weapon she used was a nice touch and the use of the common revolver by the assailant indicates this isnt that far in the future. Excellant attention to detail. Very impressive.
Absolutely fabulous movie with so much happening! Layers of the story expressed with what I think is phenomenal acting, with great chemistry between the two main actors. This is one of the very few short films that I can see becoming a full length picture. Much appreciation for you all too produce this film for us. It really is one of the better things I've seen.
This is a hidden gem, definitely deserves more views. the main reason I love these ultra low budget shorts is that they stand or fall entirely on the telling of a story, without the distraction of flash camera work and special effects. They rely entirely on the human element and this one really delivered. an engaging story, well written and beautifully acted. More please.
Oh i want to know everything, what's the dystopian city like, are the volunteers like the handmaidens tale? How did she escape...and will she save the sister... Then what? Will they find sanctuary for humanity!! Full length 2 hour feature! We want it!
Damn can you guys make a part 2 to this? this the kind of content I love to watch, I know its been 2 years since you guys made the film so ya prolly not thinking about a part 2 but please consider it, we all ENJOYED it :)
This is really superb film, a great storyline. Everything from the beautiful location and surroundings to the outstanding way the actors portrayed their characters kept my attention from beginning to end. Sarah is a beautiful woman, natural and talented, a pleasure to watch. Schoen portrayed his role so well that I felt like I knew him by the end of the film, he was funny with a kind of vulnerable innocence. Call you tell how much I liked and enjoyed the experience?
I hope you guys haven't stopped producing videos. I know YouTube can be challenging and frustrating. If you don't quit, I'll be a frequent flyer on this channel.
