  • 4/23 10:13 pm - Nice cinematography with the exterior night shots. Good steady shots, clean audio, clean editing. I like the use of the ticking clock effect which matches nicely to the idea of 2 minutes of use. I don't think the extra lines of dialogue with the drug deal is necessary because we get the idea.
  • 2/26 1:24 pm - He was buying a couple of pills, but at the end the dead hand on the bed had a pill bottle and a whole bunch of pills scattered. Hmm...details? Overall production was fine, you had a lot of shots and the editing pace was good. I feel like you could have used something between the drug deal scene and the mom discovering the dead kid. That few seconds at the end with credits should have been cut out, and you could have used that time to make an interlude scene showing the kid popping the pills at home, before the mom discovered him.
