    Leaves you wanting more in all the right ways

    A short of this quality is the foundation for an amazing body of work. An impressive start to what has to lead to a long career for those involved. Heart warming to see that quality art is being made at this point in life.

    This story evolves seamlessly. A pleasure to unfold in front of you!

    Watch out for a lawsuit

    This is literally just Black Mirror Season 2 Episode 4 (with a couple of ideas taken from later episodes) but with old Apple products as the futuristic tech and no point to the film. It's very odd that they didn't think that people might have seen one of the most popular series ever and would catch that they just stole the story. Save your time and go watch the Black Mirror episode, it's much better all around.

    A short film with feature length production quality

    Personally, I'm big on visuals. Going into 'Blackbird', I was expecting it to *look* like a short film. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that was not the case with this film.

    The story was well thought out and compelling and stems from something that I believe we have all pondered at one point or another. I'll leave it at that as I don't want to go into any spoilers.

    All in all, with the quality level that 'Blackbird' is sitting at as a short; I'm really interested to see where the filmmakers can go with more time and money in the future.

    Tldr; Beautiful visuals, compelling story and will definitely watch again.

    Can't stop watching it

    Absolutely beautiful imagery. The story is so solid that I found myself with cold chills at the end. It did what I feel like a short aims to accomplish... I want more from this story! I want to know it all. Score is also incredible. Lovely writing. Solid acting.
