Very impressive production. I am in awe by the film makers and also watched how they shot it :D Incredible! Really, really proud of the guys and the dedication they put into it.
A real good film noir with wise touch of Blade Runner. Smart crafted story about a drug dealer looking for money for a radical change of his life. A desperate gesture. A cop and his blackmail. And the run to profit by opportunity.
The care for each detail, the musical score , the atmosphere and, not the last, the performances are the precious good points of this short film who reflects a splendid cinematographyc culture and a high respect for audience.
The result of entire effort is a great short film crowned by the perfect end.
And this has as result the emotional implication of viewer in the facts of guy looking to obtain his fair slice of life.

The attention to detail in this production is second-to-none. Even the musical score and set dressing in the night club scene is accurate to the film that it pays tribute to. How is it that a super low-budget independent production like this was able to accurately capture the style of the 1982 Blade Runner film effects and sets while every multi-million dollar Hollywood attempt to do something like Blade Runner has failed miserably?
People who see Slice of Life owe it to themselves to also check out the behind the scenes videos that outline the research that went into this production and the process that the film-makers used for creating the shots. It's like handing someone sticks, stones, a few pieces of string, and a $20.00 bill while telling them to make something with scenes that stand up to the cyberpunk world of Blade Runner. Impossible? Apparently not.
Kudos to the patience and raw talent displayed in this work of art. The major studios would be insane not to hire these people.

Very refreshing to see, that this group of filmmakers used so many old school techniques to make this film just as good as a professional Sci fi movie, where everything is almost made by CGI.
The work with the practical miniatures is so well done. With a minimal amount of resources, they achieved a very moody and dystopian Sci fi look.
This movie is only told by action of the actors and not by talking and they sold the stories so good, that there is no need for the actors to talk. What we see on screen says enough to tell the story. You can feel the emotions of the main character and the struggle he is going through.
Very well done and a must watch for every Sci fi fan.

I really liked this film. It Is beautiful and entertaining. The practical effects in this film were as identical to the original Blade Runner. The lack of dialogue in this film made it relaxing and will be good way to watch when you're in bed.
The world and atmosphere these guys have created to build the cyberpunk world was basically flawless, from the colors, VFX, practical effects and costuming. This is the most accurate Blade Runner type film I've ever seen. I hope we get to see more movies like this in the future. 20 minutes was a great runtime for 'Slice of Life'. Wish Harrison Ford could be in it. 8/10.
