Fragile Storm

Fragile Storm, One of the most emotionally charged short films I have ever seen. Lance Hendriksen gives a heartbreaking performance that everyone can relate to. Directed, written and acted with thought-provoking emotion. A must see for everyone with elderly relatives.

It is a wonderful short to watch, don't want to spoil it, but the twist in it caught me off guard and made me realize how much the care takers also suffer. Bravo - well done! The scenes totally had me drawn in, I did not expect the ending , and that is what I liked. It is a wonderful and entertaining way to shed light on a subject most don't want to talk about. Both my mom , (passed away) and my mother in law battled with Dementia, Thank You

Wonderful film wonderful performance very imaginitive and perfectly Nuanced excellent direction a film to be remembered

This is an extremely powerful and emotional short film. It really begs the question of what would you do in this situation? Director/Writer Dawn Fields did an exceptional job of directing, concentrating on emotions not just from her characters but from her audience and...it worked. A story about an important yet delicate issue you hopefully will never have to encounter. Starring Lance Henriksen.

This is the first time I have ever been compelled to give a 10 star rating to ANY film on IMDb, much less an indie short film.

"Fragile Storm" starts out as a mystery, with a older man seemingly keeping a younger woman bound in captivity. I don't want to give away any plot points, for that would ruin it, so all I will say is that, from there, director Dawn Fields weaves a tale of love, loss and compassion that leaves me tearing and breathless every time I watch it.

Everything about this film is incredible. The acting is top notch, with great performances from well known actor Lance Henriksen, as well as from Jody Jaress and Mackenzie Mason. It's clear that all three gave their hearts and souls to their performances.

The writing and directing are crisp and direct and tell a a complete, heartbreaking story in only 9 minutes.

With all of that said, I sincerely hope no one thinks that I am engaging in hyperbole or that I am over-hyping this film. I truly feel that it is that great of a film and, not only that, it's a movie with a strong message, which becomes clear once you watch it.

Give this film 9 minutes of your time. You won't be sorry.
