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!
Apart from the film title I didn't really know what to expect from this short film before watching it. I basically sat down as I would for any other film without expecting too much, however it didn't take long for me to get pulled into Abe's story. Supported by an amazing cast, Stephen Uppal does an excellent job in portraying Abe's emotions and it took no time for me to feel emotionally invested in this film. This is a story that will make you feel like you've walked a journey with Abe and it will pull on the heartstrings.
Overall, this is a thoroughly enjoyable film with a very touching story and an excellent cast! 10/10

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.

I had the pleasure of seeing this at an early screening in London. In an emotionally engaging and tender depiction of one man's existence, Abe challenges modern ideals of what society values and has a lasting effect. It's beautifully shot and the cast are sublime. It feels personal yet universally affecting. Worth catching on the film festival circuit.
'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.
