Hi Nema,

Read your script.

The dialog flows for me, but the thing is - I didn't get the point of your short. Maybe it's something very cultural - and that's the reason I don't find it funny. I guess the funny banter was the point of your short, right?
Some would say it should be bigger than just funny exchange. I'd like it if I found the dialog entertaining though and for me it kind of wasn't.
Or, am I missing something? Could be...

Thanks for the read! I appreciate it .

I am trying to film this for a short 5-7 minute contest called A Day in the Life Of...so I tried to do something amusing with my surroundings. (I have a friend who is a ginger Mexican, with whom I collaborated with).  The point is merely to evoke laughter.

Yes, I was attempting humor. Haha. It's a light, comedy on a budget.

Any suggestions for improvement are welcomed and encouraged.

Thanks again for the read! Let me know if I can return the favor.
