hey, i loved your film. Cinematography is awsome. I have an international film festival coming up. Why don't you send your film to us. Your work will be definately appreciated..Waiting for your reply. I will give you all the details..thanks..bye.. Sagar- INDIA
I'm not sure the complete silence at the beginning works. It's too silent. Instead of feeling like an empty, sterile space, it just seems like there is something wrong or that the sound is working. I am a sound designer so this was very awkward for me. Kudos, though on a great project and for getting it to Cannes.
If i have two healthy arms, but i neither can play the piano like i want to. Although there are people who CAN play, i can't. But I am not sad about that!
People with handicaps are different to most of the others, but happy! In many cases they seem to be happier than "normal" people, anyway.
i personally think the lighting was perfect. black and white just like the piano aswell as a sad sort of blank look i guess. the animation of hands was impeccable!! i cant wait to start making short films as soon as i get my own cam corder. i dont think ill be this good, but we'll see =)
we would give it back to you but you would probobly just use it to jerk off or something.
Pretty good short. Needed a bit more plot and I didn't love how you showed that somebody with a disiblity simply can't do the thing that there disability is stopping them from doing. It would ahve been nice if you found a way to make the guy with no hands play piano brilliantly.
I think what they were trying to get at is the frustration people with disabilities go through to do the things they want to do, in this case, play the piano.
This has scared me... I'm a pianist. I'm not a professional, but to think of a possibility that I will have no hands to play piano. To feel hopeless...

Wonderfully expressed, all of way to conduct, scene environment and facial expression. So moving and implication.
"great short film"

I like the idea, very sad and touching... the camera/lighting could have been better though. The piano music is quite good. Good job!

Even though he does not have any hands, the musician still has the imagination. He can still compose music. That's how I see it.

Saw your post on Grace Randolph's facebook. Looked name up on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) and found this.
A very original idea and very well edited.

I'm fifteen, and trying my hand out at short films. You can see it on my channel, so if you could help me in anyway, I'd be greatly obliged.
Thanks, and brilliant job!
