  • 3/27 10:07 pm - Very interesting subject matter but needs to be connected a bit more. A lot of talking heads and I feel we could see more visuals. Would really like to hear from different voices what this place means to the community. Feels more like a long form commercial.
  • 3/6 10:27 pm - Nice story, but for the most part it felt like a really long commercial. If you would cut it down to focus exclusively on his story and used the b-roll for that section, then it would be even stronger. Showing more of the shop, besides just the back, would be really helpful. Showing some more customers enjoying the ice cream would make it more believable.
