• 4/23 10:09 pm - Nice work overall. Your narrative was simple, clear and well executed. The conflict was clear and your characters were all reasonably well defined, which is difficult to do in a film as short as this one. The de-saturated color treatment was a good choice as it added to the pseudo-suspense you were going for. The editing and narrative was well paced. Watch out for your color consistency. The split screen shot towards the end featured shots of differing colors. The Edgar Wright tribute wasn't executed quite in the Edgar Wright style. I'm not sure if you were trying to emulate it perfectly, but for a film nerd like me, it felt a bit off. Overall, good work! It was simple and clear, and in a short film that's the name of the game!
• 4/22 5:29 pm - Dialogue was well written. Camera shots were well composed. Good use of Close-Up shots. Very good editing during the voice-over sequence. Good performances throughout the entire production.
• 4/12 1:23 pm - Liked the story and the darker tone created with the desaturated imagery. The color blind joke is great and then followed with the escape room concept plays really well for this genre. Good idea and well executed. One of my favorite submissions in this category.
