    Beautiful Scottish Story

    FAITHFUL is a beautiful Scottish story, told in a heartfelt way.

    The woodland scenes and true Scottish weather capture the mood of the story.

    All the actors are fabulous and draw you into their story, which means you might need a tissue while watching.

    This short film is lovingly written, directed and the special effects give it that little extra something.

    Well done to everyone involved, and cannot wait to see what you have in store for viewers in the future.

    This is a MUST watch for everyone, you will not be disappointed.

    So, share this short film on every social platform you can, tell all your family and friends, young and old, and then tell all their family and friends, and everyone you meet. No one should miss seeing this story.

    FAITHFUL more than delivers!

    An ambitious concept for a short film, FAITHFUL sets itself up to fill big shoes but absolutely does so. It's not easy to get you fully invested and really tug the heartstrings in a short film; many try, most fail.

    FAITHFUL succeeds at every level. It's beautifully written, the characters are dynamic and real, and the story arc is satisfying. It's well made, with a beautiful look, solid effects on a limited budget, and a talented cast.

    If you're in the UK, watch it and follow their social media. Then watch it again, and tell everyone you know to watch it. If you're not in the UK, follow them on every social media platform you can. The reality of Hollywood today is that follower counts matter. I know, none of us like it. But you don't have to like something for it to be true. And the suits are more willing to invest if they believe there is already an audience for the person of project. Again, follow the artists you love!!

    Although I'm not in the UK, I'm so grateful to have been given the opportunity to view FAITHFUL. If you're headed to Comic Con in San Diego, you will have the opportunity to see it there! Take it!

    Faithful.

    I watched this film because I read that the guy Fraser Coull who wrote it won the Best Screenplay award at the London Short Film Festival for this film. It's the best short film I've seen in years. This is such an original idea that if it got commissioned as a feature film, it would be box office gold. It's like 'The Hound Of The Baskervilles' for a youth audience with a Scottish Highland flavour to it. The cast shine like diamonds, and the lighting and special effects are a joy to behold. I enjoyed it so much that I wished it would last 90 minutes instead of 20. Absolutely brilliant. I hope the people who made this realise how good it is.

    Bringing Legends to Life

    I watched this short film with no real knowledge of the subject matter and was drawn into way more than it advertised right from the start.

    A tale that explored the legend of Cu Sith, grief, bravery and hope.

    It's enchanting film style, with a fantastic debut performance by Lily, and engaging special effects delivered above and beyond my expectations.

    The scenery in Scotland certainly added to the atmosphere.

    I would highly recommend that you give it a watch, and keep your eyes open for more from this team, they are bound to produce more films that engage and educate us all about the legends of Scotland.

    Beautiful story of courage

    What a lovely film ! It takes you through a full range of emotions from fear and bravery to empathy and loss, that said the way the family in the film handle grief and loss is actually very uplifting, empathetic and hopeful There are touches of humour too Faithful is beautifully filmed in the Scottish countryside over one evening Faithful is well written with believable characters, well cast and skilfully performed The special effects were just right for folklore I had never heard of the cu sith or faerie dog !

    I hope we see more stories about Scottish myths and legends Look forward to see what they produce next !
