Spark

I saw the student film from the Palm Beach Film School website when I was surfing on the web to know more information about the small training program which I'm very excited about attending. And I liked it, Sarah Abbott who write, direct, produce and edited the film did a excellent job with the cinematography and the storytelling. I like it really can't complain. Watching those kind of short films makes you as normal person working a regular crappy job become a independent filmmaker and work your way up to the top and all. If I was her she should come back home and write a screenplay and direct her fourth indie-short. The actors in Spark would very good, not bad just descent. The director of photography (Tricia Johnson) of the film should re-team with Sarah Michelle Abbott and make that fourth film. What I notice about her film-making-style to her movies is she establish events in the movies that was fed-off her realistic experiences which I think is clever and real. Hopefully when get enroll into that film school in West Palm Beach, I hope to turn my scripts into the kind of short films I want to made in my own vision and that's what that school is all about. So overall enjoy watching her film and actually getting into story. I'm sure she will improve with her next-coming films.

For anyone who has ever had a child or thinks about having a child one day, this film will really make you think. It's something that so many women can relate to and have thought about. Very well written and poses more than one answer to a difficult situation. I'm always hesitant about "student films" because in my brain I always think they are going to look like they're made with a camcorder, but it's totally professional. It was exciting for me to see something that I saw in the very beginning as just an idea and a story on a sheet of paper go from just an idea to an actual film I was watching on TV. I wish the actors would have been as good as the story being told BUT for an independent film with all volunteer actors they did a good job.

This film can depict the true value of life's greater questions and decisions. You can feel and understand the director's vision and feel nothing but empathy, sympathy, and courage along with the actors. Even though I have never been in the same situation as the lead, after watching the film, it didn't matter. I still felt as if I had lost something along with everyone and it made me feel humble. This director, Sarah Michelle, has such a gift for story telling where if she said the sky was green, her films would make you a believer. The cinematography provided a key essence to the realism, making you feel as if you were the fifth friend involved. The actors...bravo to the actors. What a hard piece for any actor to portray. I thank you all, especially the Director, for giving me an opportunity to be a part of a good thing. Sarah Michelle, I will be awaiting your arrival at the Oscars one day because after this film, you are surely on your way.
