The lead in this movie gives a superb performance that will bring you to tears. This is a great ensemble cast that deliver an emotional depiction of life on the streets of LA and the plight of the mentally ill in particular. I wanted to see more and know more about the lead character and how he ended up in this situation ... this should be a feature film!
This movie took a hold of me from the very beginning, it had me asking questions of the main character ABE and in the end asking questions of myself and my own life. It opens a pathway into the sad but true effects mental health and struggles we face in our lifetime can have upon us; the lead Stephen Uppal has gone to great lengths to deliver the message and does it impeccably.
This is one of the most thought provoking emotional roller coasters in movie terms I have ever been on; the cast, crew and production team hit the nail right on the head. I would and have recommended and shared this movie with my friends and wider social circle.
I look forward to more productions from the UFL team; incredible.

'Abe' is a very beautiful, thought provoking film. The performances from the cast are all exceptional. The film is visually stunning and beautifully shot. It is very well written and there is an instant empathy for the lead character. Stephen Uppal shows remarkable dedication to the role.
I mean where to start, such an important story that is relatable in any City/Country. To grip someone and hold them within 15 minutes can be an impossible task but this short exceeds that. Not only is the acting on point but the score keeps you so drawn in you never want it to end - but on a deeper level it really makes you think about the people you walk past on the street that are in similar situations and wonder about their life, their story. We need more empathy in the world and this a great example of encouraging it.

A truly moving depiction of the reality that people face on the streets of LA on a daily basis. The British born lead Stephen Uppal plays the role of a mentally ill man struggling to come to terms with the cruel hand life has dealt him. Bravo to everyone involved with the making of this movie.
