    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.

    Utterly charming tear jerker

    Sometimes it's amazing how a charming story earnestly told can win you over. It's well acted, lovingly made, and really well written (it won an award for a reason!!) And it made me giggle and teary, so what more could you want? Scottish accents? Magic? Cute dogs? (Guess what...)

    I really hope people give this a chance. The main character takes us on an exciting journey with very relatable and well-told mythology. The ending surprised me, the landscapes were gorgeous, and the Spielberg inspired soundtrack was pure joy to listen to.

    If the rumours are true and it might be getting a full length feature adaptation, sign me up!!

    beautiful folkloric fairytale

    A lovely, touching and heartfelt fairytale. I was taken on a beautiful journey through Scottish folklore and would love to see more of this filmmaker and a feature film!

    The legend of the Cu Sith is new to me and I am hoping to learn more about Scottish folklore. The special effects were charming and made for a magical film. I was completely invested in the story immediately, quite a feat for such a short film.

    The young star Lily McGuire was radiant as Vaila and I certainly hope to see more of their work in the future as well. The actor playing the father was also excellent.

    A beautifully written and filmed work.

    Beautiful film...

    Loved this short film. Just magical and engaging.

    A story of loss and love in a fairytale setting. It features notable scenery and photography. The acting was well-executed, particularly by Lily, who is definatley a future star.

    Set against the backdrop of a magical forest. Themes of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of love are explored through poignant dialogues and emotional performances.

    The direction is skillful, capturing the ethereal beauty of the locations and enhancing the narrative with visual storytelling techniques.

    Overall, this short film is a captivating exploration of human emotions, enriched by stunning visuals and a compelling storyline.

    Brilliant!

    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.
