Faithful

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 !

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!

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.

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!

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!!
