I loved this movie

It was subtle, moving and very well paced. David Blue is gut wrenching and raw and I cried. So moving and just a neat take on it all. Well done and I have to go watch it again.

Excellent short film, great acting

I've never read Shakespeare and loved how I saw a glimpse of this story in this film. Brilliantly acted by Fred & David and the interaction of the characters was just right.
