I used the Letus35 Elite along with 28mm, 50mm and 105mm Nikkor lenses.

Unfortunately some shots are quite dark and murky whilst others are perfectly exposed. It was prettytough judging which ND filters to use without an external monitor.

The camera was Panasonic AG-HPX171e.

shots are very nice you have a good eye, but its SOOOO dark, try some color correction maybe to lighten up. Also it starts pretty slowly. Id suggest maybe a few more edits at the beginning to progress the story faster.

Yeah criticism has mainly come from ND filter judgment that caused the darkness with some shots. That's a mistake I hopefully won't make with my next film.

I'm happy with the pace of the film.

Cheers for the comment!

Very well shot and acted, without words. A strong piece. Some real filmmaking here.
