    nicely done.
    I read your director and production notes(link). You, your cast and crew did a marvelous job. Even more so considering your budget and technical FX issues in production.
    I work in the LA film industry(actor, SAG-AFTRA/Writer/Director),
    and have one piece of advice after reading the comments and your replies to them; Dont Feed the Trolls.
    They will take what you love and taint it. Dont let Them. Ignore them.
    Take Care and Good luck on your next project.

    I like the overall idea but do agree with comments about the props (false nails, fabric choices, too clean) That said, I think you guys are doing great and I love your style.. Sooo.. A big thumbs-up and 1 New Subscriber.. ThankYou.. 👍

    Congrats, folky folks! I've certainly enjoyed the images and the mood. Unfortunately I don't think the costume/prop design could hold up and I think you could've pushed the actor a little further. There's something about her and I see why you casted her, but it feels like you didn't give her enough time to process the things the figure is going through. Loved the sound design and music! All the best from Germany. :)
