Loose Ends is by far one of my favorite short films. It chronicles the descent-into-madness of aspiring CIA agent Maddie Holt. Loose Ends perfectly captures the nuances of a modern day relationship. From the subtle hints of competitive hatred to overt insults, this film perfectly exudes masterful filmography and character development. It also perfectly chronologically logs the progressive mental degradation of Maddie and the subsequent actions taken by all characters. While there is much to praise Loose Ends for, its acting, at times, was more or less disillusioning. Nonsensical pauses or just bad acting can really ruin the immersive experience that Akana has created. Overall, it's a fantastic film and I would recommend this to anyone interested in psychologically thrillers.
