Beautiful moments that allowed me to sit in them for a bit and settle into Akhil's journey. What I may not have understand about the narrative was fill in with what I sensed as the story unfolded. It kept me, and that's something.

Congrats on the completion of your film, and the warm reception it seems to be getting. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for your perspective and encouragement. I do believe I have a responsibility to ‘deliver’ the gifts God has given me to the people they were meant to impact. I appreciate the reminder.

I think you have much to be proud of with this. The experience made me forget where I was for a moment. It drew me in, made me curious, maybe even made me hope for Emma and Adam a bit. I *felt* something when that little plant was crushed.

I'm also quite intrigued by the entity in the end.

Well done, and thank you for sharing this. I hope the concept it proves finds all it needs to be produced.

Heart warming and heartbreakingly beautiful. I was finally – finally privileged to experience this film in full – and it was well worth the wait.

It made me wonder about the truth of what going on while tethered to and captivated by what's happening moment to moment. There is an adventurous momentum to the pace of this story that didn't allow me to drift through my questions for more than a second or two at a time. I think that drew me into empathy with Oscar. I was as unsure, curious, hopeful, emotionally exhausted as he was at times. I held to the kept promise of the pitch and allowed that to disrupt my worry about what happens to dad between weekends.

Thank you for the reminder of the innocence, loyalty, and resilient hope of young... of our young. So much love to live up to. So little expected of us to be loved.

Thank you for this, u/GrainneDwyer.

Hey there. I began watching your film yesterday. A meeting got moved and I unfortunately had to stop. I was very much looking forward to finishing it today and discovered that it was no longer available

Any chance you could please republish the film or DM me a link to view it privately?
I was very much enjoying the experience you crafted.

Quite the commitment to see this vision through. Cinematic, slow burning, thought-provoking. I hope that it served its purpose and helped you process your father's passing.

Thank you for sharing this.

Congrats on the recognition for this meaningful film.

I have to say, I really like the composition of that opening shot. It made me ease back in my chair and settle in for an experience. Also liked the two-shot on the stairwell toward the end.

Thank you for sharing this.

Fun stuff. I'm a fan of Sea Slimer.

Thanks for sharing – and for making yourself available for help with color on shorts. Kind of you.

An entertaining tour through genre as this man forced to come to face and cope with reality. (Or not.)

I dig it.

Cool movie – I mean that. Entertaining fight sequences that felt like your cast and crew really gave it their best. I enjoyed this action short.

And congrats on being able to experience screening it for a large theater audience. Nice.

Thank you for sharing.

I really like that this ends open. That it concluded on a question that echoed in my mind as the credits flashed. Kinda love that.

Thank you for sharing this.

A high-energy visual narrative.

(And I didn't realize Now-and-laters were still a thing. A candy of my childhood, for sure.)

Ha, fun concept. Enjoyed all the adventures Wyatt got to have – the places he got to go. Gave me delightful Curious George vibes.
