    Great short and teaser!

    This is a perfectly timed teaser at just over ten minutes. It's a quick watch, but Eva's shocking response in the end pulls you in so you want to know what happens in their relationship. I like that a piece of literature and art(the ballet) were used for the basis of this story. It just shows that art can be interpreted in many ways. I also enjoy that this and the producers other works focus so much on women empowerment. It's also always important to have a character that's easy to like/relate to and one that's easy to dislike, and this achieves that with Eva and Zack. Additionally this displays the power of strong friendships and how they can truly change a person's outlook and life. Lots to explore here with many intertwining themes. The dancing was beautiful. Excellent job!

Accompanied by R Kim Shultz's poetic music, the dance scenes and captivating sets freeze the emotions in this beautiful tribute. Discover the power of friendship and the true meaning of art in this expertly crafted story. With a shocking ending and a focus on women's empowerment, this quick watch will leave you wanting more.

    Mesmerizing!!!

    After viewing and enjoying the spectacular feature of this film, "FATE'S SHADOW:THE WHOLE STORY", I was really curious about how the short plays out. "FATE'S SHADOW", is just as mesmerizing! I'm a former Marine who specializes in aviation, so flying above Earth isn't foreign to me. This film took me on a magic carpet ride of unbelievable heights though, and I can tell you the view was well worth it!!! With its 10:46 runtime, it makes you want to see more from this Cast & Crew. Goal achieved!! I'll look forward seeing more of the artistic work, writing and acting, from this gifted team of professionals. Congratulations to all.

    Exceeded Expectations!

    This is an amazing look at how past experiences impact our present lives. It makes you realize you should not take those deja vu feelings for granted. The director did a superb job of making you feel you are there in the lives of these characters, experiencing their emotions. The believability and variety of the characters added to the authenticity of the film. The music and ballet scene touch your heart and soul. I've seen other dance performances, but nothing like the tremendous talent of these dancers. This short film has a surprisingly strong impact. The story has a true beginning, middle and ending that stays with you.

    An emotional blast

    This is a beautiful tribute to Michelle Arthur's direction and her adaptation of "Carmen." Her reinvention of the character while preserving the depth of her intimate questioning is admirable. The reference to masters like Paul Thomas Anderson, David Lynch, and Martin Scorsese highlights her expertise in using close-ups to evoke powerful emotions.

    The idea of having Carmen traverse the ages while remaining relevant is bold and captivating. The direction of the actors reveals their intimacy, creating a resonance between the stage and the audience's reality. The dance scenes, beautifully supported by R Kim Shultz's music, add a poetic dimension to the whole.

    The sets freeze the emotions, and Michelle Arthur's intensity pays tribute to the richness of this work. This adaptation brings a new depth to a timeless classic, a true transfiguration in both substance and form.

    Love and its transgressive passion delve into a complex dynamic, where the tension between desire and taboo reveals the depth of feelings. This journey, transcending time, emphasizes the strength of deep connections. Passion challenges our limits, inviting us to explore the beauty of emotions and the shadows that accompany them, making each experience richer and more revealing.
