Not Quite Lost

The lead actor and the camera work are top notch, while the other actors are a bit stilted and the narrative isn't anything too complex. It is still an amazing start for this career and I know that from now the quality will increase dramatically.

This movie was at times outstanding, and at times it clearly needed some work. The lead is a very good actor, but the other actors... weren't. It already looks professional at times, and considering this is a debut, it definitely has a lot of potential.

For a first timer doing a story like this, he hits this really well! I see a very bright future for him.

Great start and the camera work is enough to hold your attention throughout.

Fairly impressive cinematography and a captivating lead performance carry this short, which is otherwise bogged down by poor supporting performances and screenwriting inexperience. Compressed into a short runtime, the emotion of the piece doesn't have space to breathe, rushing to the conclusion rather than creating fleshed out characters that the audience can empathise with. The writing felt slightly on the nose with communicating themes and messages, but mastering this comes with time and experience. Overall, this short is great for a debut, especially considering the impressive lead performer also wrote and directed the piece. Although it didn't check every box, genuine potential can be found here.
