Sometimes we forget that once we’re immersed in the story, we forget what was it shot on. Well done

wow, I got the chills when the mom called. This is amazing the cinematography was perfect, the acting was perfect, & the story was perfect. I would love to make a film like this someday.
Really impressive! I see talent there 👍 And another proof that the bmpcc4k is just awesome
If this video hasn’t won some SERIOUS awards yet it sure as phuk deserves to do so!
blown away
Your flow is on point! The story is also very relatable on so many levels. Great work on this!
Amazing
All i can say is that this made me feel so thank you.
Tears everywhere after watching it. There's a powerful message very well crafted in less than 4 minutes. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is absolutely fantastic. You can see how every shot is thought out. Great stuff!
Absolutely amazing!!! Well Done!
Blown away by this simple, brilliant film. Beautiful shots, even better story. Perfectly executed! Well done.

DougRG wow thank you so much!
What a job! Lots of creativity here.
I have tears. That was great.
Thank you for this. It's really inspiring. I will definitely catch all your future work from now on
Wow! This is such a great film! I love the story and especially the cinematography. The panning shot, turning with the car was just perfect, a literal pivotal moment. The shots showed just enough information to move the story into the next scene and gave us a chance to linger on its beauty. Two thumbs, way up!
What can I say. It is totally amazing. the cinematography was perfect, the acting was perfect, & the story was perfect. The angles were on point. I'm totally inspired.
Great work! This is amazing story telling.
The real art behind this, not to underestimate the cinematography, is the sound. Really, really good.

This is bloody Amazing !!!! Thanks for sharing. This is what happens when equipment is in the right hands.
Love the use of circles/revolutions as a symbol for time. And that revolving sequence of match cuts where the watch is always in the center of the frame is just brilliant!

Omg I’ve been watching bmpcc short flicks and they’re okay, some not graded well, or some with no punch. When I finished this I could tell you have an eye for shots and story. Also, most importantly I was moved. Great editing and sound/music. Keep doing more.
