Positives: Great editing and camerawork in the beginning to mimic the Edgar Wright style. Really nailed it and created some great humor with great storytelling. I really appreciate that you told a clever and interesting story in under 3 minutes. Very often films can just be short and sweet and don't need to be extended farther than they need.

Improvements: The sound in the living room at 1:03 was rough. A lot of room noise. Sounded like it may have been from an on board microphone or something. It stuck out. Your integration of the cheese grater was a little shoe horned and felt forced. Would have liked to see it used in a more meaningful way...like the someone watching The Last Jedi and trying to grate their eyes off because its so horrible...

Positives: Short and sweet. And entertaining. Bravo! 0:40 nice reveal 1:21 good lighting 1:45 your cutaways are comedically well-timed . Cheers!

Improvements: 1:06 sound in this section is poor. You could have easily inserted his sound from another take since we don't see him onscreen. 2:26 Shot is too dark. Can't see what they are doing, which you made up for with the sound. But you could have lit the characters from the light of their phones. Best wishes in all future endeavors. #makemovieshappen

Positives: The editing is so well done with this film and it draws the viewer into it right away, great job. I like the sound effects and visual effects. The story is perfectly laid out for the viewer and it makes it fun to watch. I like the creativity of the story. There are funny parts of it that made me laugh and I liked the use of the line in this and thought the actors did a good job of delivering.

Improvements: It is important to watch the sound At 1:10 gets a little bit soft and tough to hear. The lighting at times is a little bit dark and makes it tough to see.
