hmmm....

[spiritflame67]

pretty good.

and some points were very convincing.

some other parts were like eehh.... but overall it was good.

[Jazzboluv]

terrible acting!

[cutesongstress]

wow! the concept of this film was great, got it frm beginning to end... actors, geat short film!

[worldviewtuber]

Err you 'friended' me via my email - I am not sure what you are trying to say about this - I don't 'know' this type of 'nigger' life - but I have known black and white 'nigger men' who believe this is the way to have power because they have no power over 'the man's' structure and politics - my mother always believed that 'better to be alone [loving and honouring yourself] than unhappy [ with a man/woman dishonouring you]. So if that's your message - good..if not that's sad. Wish you well anyway

[TraceTiger]

Must admit...VERY CONVINCING!!

[TheShonnette]

Keep moving forward I know how hard it can be to do scripts but you guys are doing a great JOB! GOD Bless

[BlackAzzRobb]

De-so acting. It's definitely going somewhere good. I'd keep all the actors pull back on some of the overacting @ 1:39 & 4:28 and reword some of the script.....But definitely liked it.

[pietratrota]

Thanks for the invitation. CoOL work, remarkable production! I like the story.

[blewis9505]

@HQMediaProductions Great. Well written, directed and well acted. I watched it twice back to back. Very strong message. Will be waiting for your future offerings. Hotep.

[iluvmyboba]

This wasn't half bad.

[EAMUSIC24]

Thanks alot for the add my friend!!! please check out my vids and let me know what u think! thanks alot god bless!!!!

[indigirl86]

Very strong message, but its sad that many women feel that they have to rely on a man to find their own identity.

[JEDI7ACEN]

WOW! That was potent! That was like a whole hour or more movie worth of feeling compacted down to under 10 minutes. That how GREAT that was. I'm not even really a drama like that type of person, but If this was like a series I would tune in.

Could be like a daily or weekly series.

[4eva68]

This is serious...and could help some young girls see a pattern in their life...or a friends life.

Ex:The taxi driving by like "Oh not again"...like this happens everyday.

Noticed the motivational sign on the door...[irony...]

She had no father figure and her mom wasn't really there for her.

Breeding grounds for dependency male or female.

The lifelong trap is set if not dealt with.

Important topic...

Thanks for sending

[4shewasmama]

You got my page from Chris Browns new video....which is totally off for anyone to say she must have done SOMETHING!! I HOPE you sent this to me in the UNDERSTANDING that this is NOT OK! Ive been here! And I got out! If this is in defence of woman...WONDERFUL!?

[judge1jules]

powerfull creative wanna see more!

[mp3musicawards]

MMA

[kendrawhisp]

Oh dear, this is so disturbing. It's nice to be able to lean on a friend when is needed, but this seems to be meaning that women are weak and need men. disturbing, because men are fallible people, like women, and if you give a man, or anyone, that lvl of control over you, you're asking for trouble.

[pred1919]

is there more to this story?????

[Siddeen21ad]

yes your're talented, but in this epoch we now have to much sholarship about blackness, i mean that Darkmatter power! the subject you chose to write produce & film is no longer needed, it had no positive breakthrew which leads me to believe it's wasted talent. UP LIFT OUR PEOPLE thew your CRAFT that's what's needed!

[Sahbisun]

The man in the green shirt character was a bit confusing. But I get it after watching this twice. Nice job..very intense.

[cymonebreathe]

The message I hope you're sending is that women in these particular situations often have very little room but to depend on the men around them. Abuse of power happens whether in the sexually exploitative way, or in romantic partnerships. The woman's insecurity and the insecurity of her situation lent to this "trap" on all sides. Hopefully, your "Back to Life" title is ironic in this way.

[smellyfish555]

I discovered your videos coz you friend requested me (thanks) this is very good stuff, I'm subscribing

[123nannie]

wow that was great and that stuff really do be happening too

[tete849]

"AWESOME".......! great "acting", you are very "talented" as well as others "actress" and 'actors" in "movie scene" looking forward to more of your "movies"as always i hope your day is well(god bless).

[ddsharper]

Why are ratings disabled for this video?

[iamreanne]

I am touched and moved by this short film. GREAT ACTING! adding it to my favs.

[RNatasha27]

I don't get the main concept of the short film except for the fact that she has no self esteem.... explain pls...

[ddsharper]

@RNatasha27 I don't get it either. to me it seems to be saying, decide who should denigrate you, the pimp or the boxer. lay on your back and sell it for money or stand on your feet and get punched in the face. Holy crap. It's all your fault black bitch. That's the message I get from this and it's depressing. Frederick Douglass, where are you?

[deljam33]

love your acting

[MrDeppness]

How sad and disgraceful some people exist this way. Life is supposed to be bountiful and brimming with opportunity, not desperate and self-destructive.

[xxxiluvchrisbrownxx1]

Omg... your really good. Love this Video. I turned off my favorite show just to watch it fully. Cant wait to see more.

[Adam781]

ey yo, lemme ask you a question? you ever heard of constructive criticism? your deleting everyone's comments wtf is up with that? if this get deleted you aint worth my time

[4shewasmama]

@Adam781 AGREED!

[WTFLimit]

this is real life!

[mmedefarge]

@WTFLimit That depends on the life.
