    welcome to a new era of short films

    I like the attempt of the director to satiate the desire of the short film lovers with a fantasy and thrill orientation. The amazing Background score kept up the spirit high and rises concomitant to the essence of the film. Regarding the direction aspects, it never looked like it was shot by using a smart phone, Hats off!! Good use of the application to give a hazy tinge to the video which harmonize with fabrication of this imaginative project. Flawless editing. Fascinating screen play, oh man!! can't believe he is a débutant in short film making. Overall its agile and unbiased in all departments. By the way I love the smoking style and the carry out of the attitude by Mr. Phanindra narsetti.

    Great short movie

    I would say no more than 7 for the story but the idea of doing it with an IPhone and the great editing of this short movie make it a full 8! I like the Indian taste of all this movie, even if it's so far away from some Bollywood productions that often leave you with the feeling that you just waisted some of your time watching a banal glittery love story with no deep thinking under it. Backspace is very different from that kind of movies and it is an art film for me. I like the idea that we can do great cinema using a mobile, I like that filmmakers as Phanindra Narsetti can express their creativity with less worries about how expensive is making a movie, I like that Backspace shows how much is important to have the right ideas, not the expensive equipment. I hope to see more from this young filmmaker, India is getting more and more important on the international scene not only for the plastic movies made in Bollywood but also for a good choice of art movies.

    A fest for the creative eyes !

    " Moments are temporary but memories are forever " . The thought , the creativity , the taking , the screenplay and what else everything just stood out ! the very first time i saw your page ( BACKSPACE )on face-book , i was eagerly waiting for that day when this short would pull down those loose pants of those small time short film makers whose just take up a movie just to kill time , or shoot up to fame without any great subject in it . Dis movie has a very tough look the way the scenes were organized , the music which would flush more of adrenaline into u ! and not to forget there were very less to be uttered but the viewer was forced to indulge in the movie so much that he could not realize the fact. The team had played it rite " actions speaks louder than words " and also proved that seeing is believing . all in all this kind of project " raises the eyebrows " of the people who want to feast their eyes with something new .

    To the team of BACKSPACE .... u have totally lived up to your expectations , this film has set a benchmark for other short films , the team should be proud to have Phanindra Narsetti the mind behind the movie ..... a person who takes left turn when everyone takes the right turn !

    Great going , it was my pleasure watching such a movie hope this movie reaches many others , this would be a feather in the cap of the film crew . in this society when someone tries fly the other tries to pull u down ... just don't care those lazy brains .

    all the best ! will be waiting for many more movies from U!

    "Get ready to backspaced" with thrill and Love

    "Backspace" will get u in to an full pledged real world of psychological thrill.The idea of retrieving Ur last action makes the plot and the way it becomes the boon and curse to the one who can backspace plays the movie with gripping portrayal of emotions.Before hitting the Youtube screens "Phanindra" who has a critically acclaimed name in his work for shorts made his debut more promising with the idea of making the entire film on an "Iphone4s" .IT proved that the workability and flexibility depends on the creative process of making but n't on the Budget.The film was shot in five Days with a Budget of 6500Rs .

    The specific strengths of the film lies in the set design using the portraits of woman which en thrills the beauty supporting the short and the sound design by "saketh and Naresh" will drag u to a new level of experience in moving scenes."Phanindra" as Jack and "Dharani" as susie will make u love them with their love.Phani made a visual treat with Iphone as snoricam and glide cam and steady came etc with his style of making.Movie buffs who love a variety in shorts will love it at their best.Get in to a 21 Min's of fantasy from Precocity Entertainment."Get ready to backspaced" u will love it .

    WARNING: Do no miss this!

    To put it in plain words, Just Fab. Terrific screenplay. Awesome visuals. Intriguing BGM. Stylish and intelligent. Given the fact that the entire short is made inside an iPhone4s, including shooting, editing, writing and dubbing, this is sort of a revolution in making shorts. Anyway, its a great viewing experience. One of the best shorts available out there! May not be in terms of production values, but definitely in terms of plot, screenplay and debut execution. considering that this is the debut effort of the team, this is pretty good. And use of props is great and the director played a lot with symbolism. that shows his grip and interest to details.
