Faithful

I watched this film because I read that the guy Fraser Coull who wrote it won the Best Screenplay award at the London Short Film Festival for this film. It's the best short film I've seen in years. This is such an original idea that if it got commissioned as a feature film, it would be box office gold. It's like 'The Hound Of The Baskervilles' for a youth audience with a Scottish Highland flavour to it. The cast shine like diamonds, and the lighting and special effects are a joy to behold. I enjoyed it so much that I wished it would last 90 minutes instead of 20. Absolutely brilliant. I hope the people who made this realise how good it is.

An ambitious concept for a short film, FAITHFUL sets itself up to fill big shoes but absolutely does so. It's not easy to get you fully invested and really tug the heartstrings in a short film; many try, most fail.

FAITHFUL succeeds at every level. It's beautifully written, the characters are dynamic and real, and the story arc is satisfying. It's well made, with a beautiful look, solid effects on a limited budget, and a talented cast.

If you're in the UK, watch it and follow their social media. Then watch it again, and tell everyone you know to watch it. If you're not in the UK, follow them on every social media platform you can. The reality of Hollywood today is that follower counts matter. I know, none of us like it. But you don't have to like something for it to be true. And the suits are more willing to invest if they believe there is already an audience for the person of project. Again, follow the artists you love!!

Although I'm not in the UK, I'm so grateful to have been given the opportunity to view FAITHFUL. If you're headed to Comic Con in San Diego, you will have the opportunity to see it there! Take it!

What a lovely film ! It takes you through a full range of emotions from fear and bravery to empathy and loss, that said the way the family in the film handle grief and loss is actually very uplifting, empathetic and hopeful There are touches of humour too Faithful is beautifully filmed in the Scottish countryside over one evening Faithful is well written with believable characters, well cast and skilfully performed The special effects were just right for folklore I had never heard of the cu sith or faerie dog !

I hope we see more stories about Scottish myths and legends Look forward to see what they produce next !

A lovely, touching and heartfelt fairytale. I was taken on a beautiful journey through Scottish folklore and would love to see more of this filmmaker and a feature film!

The legend of the Cu Sith is new to me and I am hoping to learn more about Scottish folklore. The special effects were charming and made for a magical film. I was completely invested in the story immediately, quite a feat for such a short film.

The young star Lily McGuire was radiant as Vaila and I certainly hope to see more of their work in the future as well. The actor playing the father was also excellent.

A beautifully written and filmed work.

Loved this short film. Just magical and engaging.

A story of loss and love in a fairytale setting. It features notable scenery and photography. The acting was well-executed, particularly by Lily, who is definatley a future star.

Set against the backdrop of a magical forest. Themes of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of love are explored through poignant dialogues and emotional performances.

The direction is skillful, capturing the ethereal beauty of the locations and enhancing the narrative with visual storytelling techniques.

Overall, this short film is a captivating exploration of human emotions, enriched by stunning visuals and a compelling storyline.

Brilliant!
