Fragile Storm

this short film caught me completely by surprise, I was reviewing submissions for the film festival, Big House Los Angeles, and when fragile Storm came in I was drawn to it immediately, I have always been an admirer of Lance Henriksen's work as an actor, the story was mysterious, and very cleverly hinted that something was amiss, it kept me engaged, and when it reveals itself it was definitely worth the wait, the film went on to win awards at the festival, and had a second screening, audiences loved it, and wanted more, it was overwhelming how many people asked it it would be screened again, and everyone, including myself was wondering the same question, when will this fantastic story become a feature film.

This is an extremely powerful and emotional short film. It really begs the question of what would you do in this situation? Director/Writer Dawn Fields did an exceptional job of directing, concentrating on emotions not just from her characters but from her audience and...it worked. A story about an important yet delicate issue you hopefully will never have to encounter. Starring Lance Henriksen.

This short film reaches in, takes you by the fear, and rips your heart out in the end. You will be frightened, angry, then very shocked... and THEN, it REALLY hits you. I don't think anyone who watches this will forget it, ever.

Excellent work by all. I have watched it again and again.

Fragile Storm, One of the most emotionally charged short films I have ever seen. Lance Hendriksen gives a heartbreaking performance that everyone can relate to. Directed, written and acted with thought-provoking emotion. A must see for everyone with elderly relatives.

Having personally lived through an experience with the devastating illness that is Alzheimer's or dementia, I can say that Fragile Storm is a must-see, even if you or your family are not directed affected. This film, while turbulent, is not melodramatic. Lance Henriksen, Mackenzie Mason, and Jody Jaress create gripping characters, and Dawn Field's directorial skill is shown off vividly in this short.

Best advice . . . watch Fragile Storm and share it with others.
