The Verdict Every score you see here was written without anyone knowing what the others would say. No groupthink. No piling on. Five independent voices, revealed all at once. Read the reviews, not just the numbers — that's where the real feedback lives.

For a 3 day student short. Nailed it. You incorporated beautifully composed cinematography elements. a cohesive story line, music, lighting and acting all into a well executed short

A very well made film. Hit all 3 Acts in the 5 minutes, very impressive. The edits were creative and inventive. Music and f/x were spot on and dialogue was great. Phone dialogue could have used a little bit of attention. Overall, very impressive effort.

Congratulations on a well executed short. I was so please to see the attention to detail of the lighting and competition. You had some really beautiful shots. Loved the montage with the box coming back each time...a lot of fun there. My only suggestion and the weakest part of your film which hurt it quite a bit is the acting. The only fix to that is rehearsing with your actors. Other than that, great job!

Holy cow! Great job! The writing of this one was fantastic. It had a distinct beginning, middle and an end. Loved the stylized lighting and the blocking. The montage had me genuinely laughing. You should be very proud of this project. You guys have no business being this good at your age.

Amazing Editing and Cinematography, Acting could use some work

I think this film is pretty great. The editing was flawless and the cinematography was thought about and executed very nicely. Acting could definitely use some work but overall everything about this film is pretty exceptional.

i think this film is amazing, there was great editing and acting. The writer must have worked very hard on this. The only thing that could have been better in this film was the audio, there was some static in some parts of the film but other than that you guys did amazing!

I think that this was a really well made film. The camera work, the lighting, the cinematography and the audio were really great. One thing that could be improved though is the acting. Overall, everybody involved in the making of this film should be really proud of your finished product.
