Great video. The music, the direction, use of split screen...terrific. I also loved the "signs" throughout, from the newspaper to the street signs. Wonderful job, Justin!
excellent work. essentially without words, you showed conflict and motivation in the protagonist very effectively. Chaplin would be proud. i guess boy gets girl in the sequel? keep up the great work!
great soundtrack. Loved the idea of telling a story around a simple concept portrayed through something even smaller like the quote, "If you risk nothing, then you risk everything."
HIS NAME WILL DOWN WITH THE GREATS: Hitchcock, Spielberg, Scorsese, etc.
inspirational. you always find ways to make the most beautiful shots in the not always beautiful places. I loved the incorporation of the movie title and the actual streets in los angeles. great use of setting and i loved the split screen where you tricked us! thanks for making my day, im going to go and find the girl of my dreams now.
Mr. Nguyen, you have outdone yourself once again. Dude you got some fancy camerawork in this hahaha. Props to DinhChoe hehe.
Just a thought I had: I sort of feel like there should be no words at all (mirror scene) It sort of threw me off because it left more to be desired but there was no speaking through the rest of the film.
And I like the ending it felt very open to interpretation. Either he is moving on, or he's still going after her. I don't even know. I'd say the former?
Really masterful. It's clear in every shot that you have great vision for your projects, and also being aware of how small your crew is impressive. Some of the running is a bit awkward but regardless you edited around it well. I wish I knew how you come up with your ideas. -Tim

Great short, Justin. The shots were good, the soundtrack was perfect, and I like how much you got across without dialogue.
At the same time, I know how good you are with words, so I'm looking forward to a short with some more.
