I loved this film you've created. Every aspect from the story and metaphor, to the music works well together, and telling the story without words added to the mystery, which again meshed perfectly with the metaphor. I think you've got a real talent and I hope you've continued pursuing it. Two Thumbs Up!!!

Beautiful. Very well done. Demonstrates how much emotion can be expressed without words, in a few relatively simple movements.

John Frum may not have achieved what he sought to do, but Rachel Russell has influenced the world.

That was just plain creepy...but interesting....I Liked it!

Never seen the beauty and tragedy of misattributed yearning better expressed.

You've shown so well why people have religious beliefs, why it's so powerful, how touching its poetry is, why it's such a sad, sterile dead end.

You made something incredibly powerful there.

The music was an excellent choice as well--very emotional which obviously suits the film. I think there's a tear in my eye.

That was so beautiful. It symbolizes perfectly the John Frum cults and drives home a universal message to which we can all relate. Truly high art.

F-ing brilliant. Thank you.

that was quite good, although the camera jumping around a lot and the moving shadows made it had to watch.
