[FilmTeller]

Thank you for the compliment. There are times when that really means a lot and today is one of them. I appreciate it.

I liked the ending. I was going to be a little harsher, but after reading the description about the 72hr timeline and other requirements, I applaud your work. I know how hard it can be to get something like this done in that short amount of time.

Good work.

I appreciate your ability to hold your harsh comments and to understand the real difficulty of writing, shooting, and completing a movie in 72 hours. Thanks for watching.

Kool twist i liked it

[brandonmiletta]

Great Job!!! I really enjoyed this film. I would be lying if I said I didn't want my entry (true heroes) to win, but I would want to lose to yours if I did lose. Story was great, acting top notch, and the cinematography was where it needed to be. Even the make-up was cool. I hope a certain team doesn't get jealous and bash your film like they did ours.
