Faithful

I watched this film because I read that the guy Fraser Coull who wrote it won the Best Screenplay award at the London Short Film Festival for this film. It's the best short film I've seen in years. This is such an original idea that if it got commissioned as a feature film, it would be box office gold. It's like 'The Hound Of The Baskervilles' for a youth audience with a Scottish Highland flavour to it. The cast shine like diamonds, and the lighting and special effects are a joy to behold. I enjoyed it so much that I wished it would last 90 minutes instead of 20. Absolutely brilliant. I hope the people who made this realise how good it is.

An ambitious concept for a short film, FAITHFUL sets itself up to fill big shoes but absolutely does so. It's not easy to get you fully invested and really tug the heartstrings in a short film; many try, most fail.

FAITHFUL succeeds at every level. It's beautifully written, the characters are dynamic and real, and the story arc is satisfying. It's well made, with a beautiful look, solid effects on a limited budget, and a talented cast.

If you're in the UK, watch it and follow their social media. Then watch it again, and tell everyone you know to watch it. If you're not in the UK, follow them on every social media platform you can. The reality of Hollywood today is that follower counts matter. I know, none of us like it. But you don't have to like something for it to be true. And the suits are more willing to invest if they believe there is already an audience for the person of project. Again, follow the artists you love!!

Although I'm not in the UK, I'm so grateful to have been given the opportunity to view FAITHFUL. If you're headed to Comic Con in San Diego, you will have the opportunity to see it there! Take it!

Lovely short film!! Highly recommend!!

Very intriguing and magical. Sucks you in, and keeps you there the entire time.

Very touching story and brings out a lot of emotions - grief, fear, love, curiosity! A beautiful way to show how someone could deal with loss and the grief that comes with it, but also with some humour too! Really felt like I was in it!

Didn't expect to cry, but I did! Loved it! Brilliant ending! Bravo!

Actors were brilliant! Great young actors especially! Well done! And credit to the dog!!

The countryside scenes were amazing! Always lovely to see Scotland in that way! Thank you!

FAITHFUL is a beautiful Scottish story, told in a heartfelt way.

The woodland scenes and true Scottish weather capture the mood of the story.

All the actors are fabulous and draw you into their story, which means you might need a tissue while watching.

This short film is lovingly written, directed and the special effects give it that little extra something.

Well done to everyone involved, and cannot wait to see what you have in store for viewers in the future.

This is a MUST watch for everyone, you will not be disappointed.

So, share this short film on every social platform you can, tell all your family and friends, young and old, and then tell all their family and friends, and everyone you meet. No one should miss seeing this story.

A lovely, touching and heartfelt fairytale. I was taken on a beautiful journey through Scottish folklore and would love to see more of this filmmaker and a feature film!

The legend of the Cu Sith is new to me and I am hoping to learn more about Scottish folklore. The special effects were charming and made for a magical film. I was completely invested in the story immediately, quite a feat for such a short film.

The young star Lily McGuire was radiant as Vaila and I certainly hope to see more of their work in the future as well. The actor playing the father was also excellent.

A beautifully written and filmed work.
