Fair play to Jake Olive and his friends for trying something incredibly daunting, but there is just far too much wrong with this.
Jake seems to play Arthur Dent, and while his smoking persona in therapy is far, far better than the portrayal of Harley Quinn, it is too weak to be taken seriously.
That goes for the cinematography and sound editing too. All of it was just too weak to be taken seriously. The script is also weak.
If you have something powerful, you don't need to film the entire idea to prove it. It should speak for itself. And Jake, while I appreciate your bravado for trying this, your script should not have been tackled. It's best that you get some input and perspective from straight-talking friends before moving forward with this kind of work.
It gets a 4 for effort. There was a fair amount of effort in trying to take on this project. But the skill and experience involved was just too feeble to impress anyone.
I hope this a lesson for you to take, and that you go on and produce impressive material in the future.
Good luck to you Jake. Sorry if these words seem harsh. But welcome to show biz, buddy!
