Homeless Ashes

Great independent film with a good message. They are homeless not invisible. Captivating film that looks at homeless people from their side of things. How do people end up on the streets. Pretty sure many of us look at homeless people and wonder how you can let yourself get in that situation. This films takes you past what you see as you walk by and helps you understand some of what people have been through or are going through. If everyone sees this film I am sure it will make them adjust how they feel and how they act to some of the homeless people on our streets. If we all do just one thing nice, ask how they are. See if there is anything you can do. Spare some food, clothes, or a little money. A coffee and a chat can make them feel human again. Great work Mark and the team.

Is one of those movie's that succeeds on almost every level, where each character, scene, and dialogue, make a film worth seeing again.

Despite the insane loneliness and some of the high stakes of being stuck alone on the streets, the script keeps, humor and excitement alive in every scene. The Streets especially for a kid alone, would be dangerous and scary, but the joy of seeing the kid Discovering who he is within is heart felt.

Homeless Ashes is a credit to Marc's understanding of how to relate a harsh reality to his audience through the use of exceptional cinematography and extreme sensitivity. Sometimes gritty and a hard watch, the overall message and the moving way in which it was delivered was outstanding and an honour to watch.

I was lucky enough to see Homeless Ashes last night at Everyman Baker Street. I can honestly say I am blown away. Blown away by the performances, directing and cinematography. And blown away by how brave, honest and beautiful it was. It shows human nature in its rawest form. And highlights the chain of problematic causes it takes to lead an individual down the 'wrong path'. I truly believe this film will make an impact on how we see homeless people. It should and it will make us see individuals without homes, as human beings, like ourselves. With stories, and families. Marc Zammit clearly is a very talented director and performer, but what makes him unique is that he is in tune with the human heart and has clearly illustrated this in his feature film debut. I am so excited to see what he does next. And what this beautiful film will do for our community.

Marc Zammit has created a visually engaging film with beautiful locations and a skilled director of photography to capture picturesque London. Strong performances throughout. The humanization of people living on the streets is accomplished through a narrative that touches on domestic abuse, drug addiction, and unfortunate life mishaps beyond control.

This director is one to watch.
