Went to a Warner Bros private screening of this short film and my word was I taken on an emotional journey in just 15 minutes! Abe was beautifully shot, the film score was incredible and the actors story telling was a definite 10/10. if you want to see what quality you can produce on such a small budget then I can't recommend watching this film enough, you will not be left disappointed. Hats off to the team that wrote and produced this.
I had the honour of attending a private screening of this film at WB studios and I simply found it beautiful. The cast were great and the story was so touching. Stephen Uppal played his character amazingly well. If you ever get the chance to catch this film, do so. You won't regret it. I wish it all the best for the future.
I had the pleasure of seeing this at an early screening in London. In an emotionally engaging and tender depiction of one man's existence, Abe challenges modern ideals of what society values and has a lasting effect. It's beautifully shot and the cast are sublime. It feels personal yet universally affecting. Worth catching on the film festival circuit.
'Abe' is a very beautiful, thought provoking film. The performances from the cast are all exceptional. The film is visually stunning and beautifully shot. It is very well written and there is an instant empathy for the lead character. Stephen Uppal shows remarkable dedication to the role.
Poignant and compelling throughout, Abe delivers a real punch. Aesthetically, unlike so many shorts, it's excellent and wouldn't look out of place on any big screen. A very strong cast is lead by Stephen Uppal, who physically transformed himself for this role, akin to Christian Bale in The Machinist. Full disclosure, I've known Stephen for a long time but despite this, I was able to watch Abe like I'd never met him. Well worth 15 minutes if you can get your hands on a copy!
