    Intense

    Clever filmmaking, I feel like a lot of short films lack depth but this one was great. Love the cinematic shots, the color grading was perfect too might I add - a talented bunch from the director to the actors. 9 stars from me

    Draws you in

    Loved this. Not only was the production top notch but the acting was superb. Drew Schrum is one actor you have to look out for this year. Watch Decrescendo and support indie-films.

    Loved it!

    An impressive film about a son going back home to visit his family. Things get tense and the acting, shot selections and music was spot on. Well done to Drew Schrum, he was perfect for this role. Only wish it was a little longer though this could actually be a feature length film honestly. A must watch.

    An impressive short film

    I didn't know what to expect but I seriously enjoyed this. The film is about a music lover who arrives to his family mansion for an imposed lunch and then loses his hearing. What could go wrong right? No spoilers here but it's seriously well done. Great storyline and acting, well done guys!

    Cinematic

    Awesome film! Love the way the film kept intensifying right to the very end. Young Benjamin, the main actor absolutely nailed it. Quality acting.
