Abe

The lead in this movie gives a superb performance that will bring you to tears. This is a great ensemble cast that deliver an emotional depiction of life on the streets of LA and the plight of the mentally ill in particular. I wanted to see more and know more about the lead character and how he ended up in this situation ... this should be a feature film!

Went to a Warner Bros private screening of this short film and my word was I taken on an emotional journey in just 15 minutes! Abe was beautifully shot, the film score was incredible and the actors story telling was a definite 10/10. if you want to see what quality you can produce on such a small budget then I can't recommend watching this film enough, you will not be left disappointed. Hats off to the team that wrote and produced this.

A truly moving depiction of the reality that people face on the streets of LA on a daily basis. The British born lead Stephen Uppal plays the role of a mentally ill man struggling to come to terms with the cruel hand life has dealt him. Bravo to everyone involved with the making of this movie.

I mean where to start, such an important story that is relatable in any City/Country. To grip someone and hold them within 15 minutes can be an impossible task but this short exceeds that. Not only is the acting on point but the score keeps you so drawn in you never want it to end - but on a deeper level it really makes you think about the people you walk past on the street that are in similar situations and wonder about their life, their story. We need more empathy in the world and this a great example of encouraging it.

Apart from the film title I didn't really know what to expect from this short film before watching it. I basically sat down as I would for any other film without expecting too much, however it didn't take long for me to get pulled into Abe's story. Supported by an amazing cast, Stephen Uppal does an excellent job in portraying Abe's emotions and it took no time for me to feel emotionally invested in this film. This is a story that will make you feel like you've walked a journey with Abe and it will pull on the heartstrings.

Overall, this is a thoroughly enjoyable film with a very touching story and an excellent cast! 10/10
