    Experimental filmmaking at its finest

    Jennifer Kramer's first film, Nakusa, showcases her myriad of talents as a writer, director, producer, actor, and musician. Nakusa is a unique and creative narrative of trauma, disability, loss, and the longing for acceptance. The Rachmaninoff score is haunting and powerful. It stayed with me long after the film ended. I very much look forward to seeing Ms. Kramer's next film!

    A Refresh Generation Of Film

    Nakusa,

    Everybody goes to the movies, it seems. To be entertained, but how many go to study movie's as work of art.

    There isn't a movie in all of cinematic history that can truly be called perfect, but there are certainly some steps that can come almost close to it, written, directed, Solo Performance in a short film. This deep emotional, captivating quality of film was so brilliantly born, How could in not captivate an audience and leave them entranced.

    Jennifer Kramer Is Brilliant. Artistic. A musical talent, emotionally creative, and so much more, If one would like to get behind the mind blowing thoughts of this extraordinary Young screenwriter Jennifer Kramer, Continue to follow her films, A refresh generation of new ideas .

    Mesmerizing

    This mesmerizing short film stayed with me long after the credits rolled. Beautifully shot with a haunting score, I look forward to seeing what next this director develops. Nakisha is beautiful.

    Defines a new and fascinating genre of film!!!

    The combination of story-telling, fantasy, parallels to a composer's life struggles (Rachmaninoff), and music makes for a new and entertaining experience. The only reason I didn't rate this higher is because I expect this director/writer/producer/actress to develop her art to levels even higher than this, her first effort and need to leave room for 9 or 10 star ratings in the future!

    Groundbreaking

    Nakusa is a groundbreaking short film that defines the description "experimental." Jennifer Kramer is a visionary who created the concept, title, wrote, produced, co-directed and stars in her first short. It's a unique film that goes inside the mind of classical composer Rachmaninoff like never before. With the narrative of loss and trauma interwoven around the classical music, Kramer has created a new genre. Musical Monologues on film. It's a Jennifer Kramer film, and she proves that a filmmaker and actor can invent a piece of work that goes beyond boundaries. Bravo!
