User Reviews

Thought-provoking and profound

Subtle subtext and symbolism add an element of depth demanding the audience's attention to detail. Watch closely and listen carefully for there is always more than what meets the eye. Every frame of action and each phrase of dialog has a meaningful purpose, pushing the movie forward, fitting the pieces of the puzzle together.

What helps to make the movie so interesting is how each viewer will interpret their own handful of clues. Much like the Sixth Sense, most viewers will not connect all the undertones that tie the film together until they've seen it twice. Insight into the memories that consume the mind of Stephen Jefferys unfold throughout the film until he reveals the surprising truth at the end. This short was meant to be a feature length film.
