    A wonderful short film from director Marco Piana!

    Excellent short film from the beginning to the very end. Absolutely flawless performance from the cast for which you can see the cast received immense direction from the director, Marco Piana. Piana's work in this short film shines through the amazing photography and storytelling. He demands true and genuine performance from his actors which results in an affective and powerful scenes. The audience witnesses the the desperation in Elizabeth's face as she looks out the window and her desire to escape her so called life that is filled with too much pain and anguish and no love until her postman comes to the rescue to sweep her off her feet. All this is reflected in the intelligently written and well versed script. Its a very well directed short film by director Piana indeed. A must see if you have not seen it already. Two thumps WAY up!

    Excellent

    This movie' was intriguing and exciting....I was left wanting more. This is truly a great adaptation. I think this was a great cast of rising young actors. I would like to see the full length to this this exciting drama. The Sexton's wife was beautifully done, i guess the directors and everyone worked in sync. The lighting was amazing, made me feel like I was in the same place as the actors on that cold mountain...I admire the over all production and I give this 10 stars. I will look forward to more work from the entire cast and director. Great Job. Also I wanted to note that the background Music fit the scenes, it was not over/under-used. Was it nice to listen to.

    A Great film

    this film delivers and continues to deliver. the direction mixed with great acting, compliments the visually beautiful shots. a film is indeed about good story telling, but if it is not executed in the correct method it can be a flop. this film delivers in all aspects and i am happy that I was able to see it. i put this film in the same category as gone fishing by the legendary chris jones which was another film that made me feel that the visual arts are an amazing method of storytelling. i encourage everyone to try and see this film, they will not be disappointed. As a filmmaker myself, I understand the art form, and this film is in my mind considered a piece of art

    Great Movie!

    Each of the 30 minutes in this film came together in a dramatic climax, showing the skills of a talented cast.

    Its a real Gem with an incredible script and very solid acting from start to finish.

    Excellent direction from Marco Piana, beautiful shots.

    The locations in Long island made an amazing Setting for this short movie.

    Lighting and Direction of Photography are flawless.

    Bravo Marco Piana! There is an obvious talent on this Director, Cant wait to see whats his next project.

    Superb

    I went into this film not knowing what to expect. Needless to say you are in for a captivating and intelligent plot executed down to the last detail.

    This film is essentially beautiful and can easily be considered a work of art. I was mostly intrigued by the photographic aspect of the film itself. Each shot is visually stimulating and emotional due to the striking lighting effects, which I found especially masterful.

    One shouldn't leave out the superb acting that helped bring out the intensity of this script. The main character, Elizabeth really pulls the viewer into her world and you wind up suffering with her. It is truly moving.

    Mr.Piana is a brilliant director, you will not be disappointed in this film!
