The SZN

I had the pleasure of watching this film at its premiere. The characters were well developed.

The esthetics of the film drew you into the film.

I really enjoyed Dakarai Akils performance he never disappoints. All the acting was believable. The story hit on real life situations. I wished it was a little longer, but maybe that's because I was 30 minutes late. Lol. I will be looking at the movie again on Amazon Prime to see what I missed. I was able to catch on with just the parts that I saw. Q you killed it as usual! To the entire cast an crew keep up the good work. Houston supports you! Great work Mr. CARTER.

Ok I give it a 4 for a few reasons 1. There where times in the movie where you guys cut to daytime stock footage and it was clear as day it was night 2. How many days does the movie take place over it feels like it was a few days but the one lady and a few others never changed there look so that kinda loss me 3. There where a few sound bites here and there but sound was a overall 8 and it has a cool score 4. I think as a writer/director you have to learn to really use not only the dialog but things around you to really tell the story you guys didn't do that at all 5. The movie looks nice it's colorful and has a sharp image

There where some other key moments that just don't add up

we see a guy getting killed in the beginning of the movie at the office where 90% of the movie takes place but we never heard anything about the dead man did he just disappear With all the day to night stuff going on you can't follow the story

Now there where some good acting in this movie at times but the times it's not are so over the top it's not even funny I would say watch it for yourself and be the judge.

My advice would be take some time and look at some screen writing tutorials on how you can use other things then the characters spoken words to tell your story's and have your DP look into the are behind camera movements it will help keep the viewer engaged and focus on the screen.
