    A great Laundry Day.

    Had the pleasure of watching this short recently and what a beauty it is. At this stage I must confess to working with the Director in his first production "A Timley Gift" and that was indeed a pleasure.

    Now back to the review. A delightfull production funny and interesting and with a hint of the surreal which kept your interest going amongst all the happenings on screen.

    I am only sorry I did not see it on the big screen but in these covid times I was lucky to see it at all. Well worth watching and highly entertaining with a great production element to it and played by a great cast and crew.

    Like a good amusement park ride, over before you know it and leaves you wanting more!

    Quirky, fun, unexpectedly engaging and a bit thought-provoking. I don't want to give anything away! Nicely done all around.

    Quirky funny sci fi from promising new director

    I really enjoyed this short film. As an avid fan of sci-fi , I have seen and read a lot of science fiction stories and films over the years and this film didn't disappoint. Although the wormhole theme is a common one, the story plays out in a unique way. It balances the serious and funny side perfectly. Well shot and well acted. Would definitely recommend it.

    Great film, very entertaining - sure isn't that what we watch films for? To be entertained.

    The second short film from this talented, up and coming director called Paireac Keane who has progressed impressively from his first release - 'A Timely Gift', which I thought was very good but his latest film 'Wormhole In The Washer' is of a higher standard - this second short movie at 18 minutes long might seem or sound long (though is within the confines of a 'short film/movie', I've checked) but trust me it flew by, why? Or how? You might ask, well the story is captivating from start to finish, it is told very well and intelligently(some might take longer to figure it out than others but hey it is Science Fiction after all!), it is humorous, full of intrigue, very well shot and acted by all, but a special mention to the main actor - playing the character Merril Bentley(in all his guises) - Elliot James.

    Also I think very highly of the very well written script, the wardrobe/costumes, the original score and the impressive cinematography throughout.

    A film worth seeing hopefully by many people who like to see something a little different and perhaps those who like to be left with something to ponder.

    Go check it out in the upcoming festivals.

    Creative, Quirky and Full of Twists

    This was an excellent short film. The production was done excellently and the directing was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot. 10/10 would highly recommend.
