I thought I was having more technical issues but I guess it just ended abruptly. I know you really squeezed this one in so I understand.
I did like many of your shot choices. You definitely have a unique style so that's a good thing.
Maybe just give us a little more next time.
I hope you jump in early next fest and show us more.

Almost missed this thread with the name change, glad I found it. I’ll be straight up – I didn’t get it. I liked the portrayal of the relationship from the single perspective on the couch. From that view, I thought the shot in the car was unnecessary and took me out of what was being built. And the biking – even after the end I don’t know where he’s going. I think it’s him after he broke up with her, but I’m not sure. And while I liked the perspective on the relationship, there didn’t seem to be any kind of arc to it, so I wasn’t sympathetic to the lead when it ended. You had some really good ideas in there, but I think you said it yourself - this just didn't get fully finished. But props for doing something and getting it in. That's a huge victory in itself.
You're in Vancouver? If you ever need an extra hand, feel free to hit me up. Even if all you need is a self-powered sandbag, I'd be happy to help out. Look forward to seeing more from you.

Unique approach. The fact that I have questions is what I like. I have enough to fill it in, but the things I don't know are what makes this good. I felt so disappointed when it ended and it looks like she did too, but not knowing for sure is the best. I loved the music, quick cuts and the exterior shot opened it up nice. Beautiful piece of work.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Adam had been saying he wanted to submit something for years and I think we got over the hurdle of getting the first submission in, so we have a jumping off point to improve upon. We will definitely get a bit more of a head start for next years fest, but it was a great experience conceiving of, shooting and editing a film in under 24 hours!
