    Raw emotions

    There's a lot of buzz about this short film so I had to see it and I was impressed. Credit to Fredrick Tabiyus for producing a good film, this could be made into a feature if done right. Also Anis is a solid actor, he was perfect for the role.

    The storyline grew on me even though I wish it was a little longer. Good acting and dialogue. The film turned up a notch mid-way. The main character gets in a little situation and the ending was unexpected. Hoping to see more mabye even a part two.

    Cool short

    Anis Maknojia is a super talented actor and i'm looking forward to see more of him in 2020. He absolutely owned his role. There should be a part two for sure.
