Proof it’s not the camera, it’s the videographer.
Arguably one of the best shorts I’ve seen so far. Very open to interpretation if not an actual alien invasion but dealing with disease and loss of loved ones.

This is why mobile filmmaking excites me. If done right, it can capture you just like any other camera.
Good. Grief. Utterly incredible writing, directing, cinematography, editing, VFX, all the things. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I have only commented on just a few films but this one is excellent. Great talent, well shot, edited and audio additions are fantastic but most of all, creatively written. This is the perfect mix if you’re looking to model after something in terms of quality from script to screen. Great job!

Just seeing this on May 15, 2024. This is brilliantly conceived and executed- the idea, the effects and visuals, the performance both physical and vocal, and the timing of the reveal- not right away, but not right at the end either, with time for it to sink in to the viewer's mind. Excellent work.
Wow Blown away!!!!
Seriously? Always the craftsman. It’s wonderful.
