Positives: Everything from a technical standpoint was amazing! Great cinematography all around -- both in lighting, and in your composition and camera movements. Looked awesome. Great use of sound. Especially in the opening scene, everything from the shutter of the camera, the ambiance of the city, the street noise and then gun shot and sirens all felt very realistic! Great job.

Improvements: The story felt a little bit underdeveloped. I wanted to know why this guy felt so passionate about printing this story - and enough so that he would be willing to lose his job. I get that it was all about journalistic integrity, but his motivation didn't necessarily feel justified. I also wanted a bigger resolution at the end. After he was fired, I wanted a bigger moment for the character. Even though the reveal of the Tribune office out the window was cool, I felt a little unsatisfied at the end.

Positives: The first scene looked aesthetically pleasing. The choice of location was good.

Improvements: The story aimed to high and didn't deliver. The acting was not convincing.
