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.

Sometimes it's amazing how a charming story earnestly told can win you over. It's well acted, lovingly made, and really well written (it won an award for a reason!!) And it made me giggle and teary, so what more could you want? Scottish accents? Magic? Cute dogs? (Guess what...)

I really hope people give this a chance. The main character takes us on an exciting journey with very relatable and well-told mythology. The ending surprised me, the landscapes were gorgeous, and the Spielberg inspired soundtrack was pure joy to listen to.

If the rumours are true and it might be getting a full length feature adaptation, sign me up!!

I watched this short film with no real knowledge of the subject matter and was drawn into way more than it advertised right from the start.

A tale that explored the legend of Cu Sith, grief, bravery and hope.

It's enchanting film style, with a fantastic debut performance by Lily, and engaging special effects delivered above and beyond my expectations.

The scenery in Scotland certainly added to the atmosphere.

I would highly recommend that you give it a watch, and keep your eyes open for more from this team, they are bound to produce more films that engage and educate us all about the legends of Scotland.

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!

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 !
