It’s great! So refreshing to find an effective short that isn’t just an illustration of some joke. It’s really structured in three acts, like a feature in microcosm. Lots of texture, poignancy, and manipulation of time in a way that makes wonderful use of the medium. Well done!
- MICHAEL RAY BROWN from Story Sense: Top-rated script analyst (according to Creative Screenwriting magazine)
A very tightly constructed, well written short feature script with an ending that… contained a well working, ironical twist that I didn’t see coming.
