    A Stellar Debut!

    This movie is truly a hidden gem. The storytelling is compelling, drawing viewers in from the very first scene and keeping them engaged throughout. The actors deliver exceptional performances, making their characters feel real and relatable. Each cast member brings something unique to the table, creating a dynamic and captivating ensemble. It's impressive to see such talent working together seamlessly.

    What makes this film even more remarkable is the fact that it was made on almost zero budget. The production quality, attention to detail, and overall execution are all top-notch, which is a testament to the dedication and passion of the entire crew. It's hard to believe that they achieved such a high level of quality with limited resources. Imagine what they could accomplish with full financing!

    This is a fantastic start for the director, who has clearly demonstrated a keen eye for storytelling and a talent for bringing out the best in their cast and crew. The film is a testament to their potential and a promising indicator of what's to come in the future. I can only say, "Bravo!" to the author for creating such an engaging and well-crafted film. It's a must-watch for anyone who appreciates great cinema and an inspiring example of what can be achieved with creativity and determination.

    "The Cake" is Fabulous!

    The Cake is a gripping, provocative and insightful psychological thriller; from the brilliant mind of Ukrainian Writer and Director, Nadin Tsarinova. This powerful short film has personal, as well as geo-political undertones, which require us to examine our collective conscience, our humanity, and our moral compass. Regardless of what we may be repeatedly told or taught, we must find our way to the reality of truth. Even when confronted by a more powerful adversary.

    This fabulous movie is a stunning portrayal of real life injustice at the hands of those who might seek to victimize us. Beware the system, and also the powerful, who manipulate it to their advantage.

    Nadin Tsarinova is an rare, and supremely gifted talent!

    Leon A. Walker.

    This short was filmed perfectly!

    I was engaged and at the edge of my seat the whole film! I applaud all that were involved in the making of this short.

    The main actors were totally believable and professional. Their emotions were on point.

    The videography was amazing!

    I love a film that keeps me guessing and is completely unpredictable. There needs to be a part 2 to this film. It's just that good!

    Bravo to the director, cast and crew for all the expertise that they contributed to the making of such a great short film.

    I am grateful to have been a part of such an amazing cast and production team.
