They did a great job with the film!  They took their time and the quality shows.

The music took a bit of getting used to. I actually listen to Trap quite a lot and had to check at one point that I hadn't left the radio station playing in the tab I always keep open to Trap FM.

I felt that the lead actor initially overacted with facial expressions. It seemed acted to me and, after that, I struggled to stick with him although he did redeem himself well later.

The guy smoking an actual cigarette struck me as odd in a futuristic world. I think a nicer touch there would have been to use an e-cig, maybe a steampunk type holder if the idea is to meld the old with the new.

I liked the script a lot better but overall I think they've done an excellent job with it. The tone, visuals, and acting were all great. While watching, it reminded me of The Wall by Pink Floyd. Not the story, obviously, just the way it was done with the music being so prominent. Musical pieces tell stories too and I enjoyed this somewhat daring mash-up of the two creative forms.

Superb stuff. Well done!

Thanks Max.

Dustin - thanks for checking it out.  Glad you liked it.

This is a good movie experience and I'm not a short film guy in general. When the music grew louder again into that melodic part at 5.30 I felt this whole production really has it all together, even the small things are spot on.

Like at 5.50 what of an effect is that? Beautiful...

Story shines too. I like that it starts right within the main conflict and never let's go… The mystery factor works fine as well. Congrats Steve.

Check the SS home page. It has a really cool video of how this film was made. It's quite amazing.
