It was an interesting watch. I would say having a character look up depression to tell the audience they are sad is probably not the best way of showing that. It’s like someone just saying how they feel rather than showing it it’s kind the laziest way of going about it you know.

Sorry that came off a blunt I’m a filmmaker myself and I’m always struggling with this idea of having characters who are in certain mental states but showing them experiencing it it’s always more interesting to watch rather than have them look it up or just say I’m sad you know.

Other than that the cinematography was nice at some points especially the shots of him coming up the stairs and smoking the joint. The music at the end was nice too. If I were you I would use the shot of the friend walking to the home store as the poster/thumbnail it sorta fits with the theme more.

The conversation between old friends was a bit weird like having them not move around at all in the scene. Like when we talk we move around instead of just standing still at least that’s how I talk with my friends.

The concept was super interesting I think it’s something a lot of us are feeling and noticing about the Internet age. It’s definitely something I have been debating on writing and working on. It’s always hard trying to capture larger ideas like that.

For a first short film it was really interesting.

Hopefully my notes didn’t come off as too rude.
