This is a great proof of concept short film. It leaves me wanting more! Well executed technically and edited with a good sense of pacing. Most important is that it has HEART and TENSION. Obviously, the filmmakers understand what makes a good film.
Thank you! We put a lot of time and energy into this piece so we love the fact that it showed!
Excellent cinematography, script, talent, sound mix and edit. Bravo mate, well done ! Subbed.
I came to this video because I was interested in what the GH5 is capable of. However, I really enjoyed the film and I will see what else you have on your channel.
Feel the struggle.. life is hard let alone to set example for others. To provide to others is not an easy feat. It takes courage and continuous strength to achieve that just like our parents. Great sacrifice..

Creative Clan it shows! Good job 👍🏼
Amazing! Loving the handheld feel. Does the GH5 handle well for smooth handheld? My lumix G7 is shaky and has pretty terrible autofocus Haha. I'm thinking of getting the GH5
Detailed Sound recording.Great

Nice man. I like it.

Black promist I believe 1/8

🙏🏽 thank you!
Great! Speedbooster btw?
Yes speedbooster was used!
Good film will there be a continuation?
Thank you! And possibly 🤔
I don't know why people who don't know what they don't know, do what they know.
We have no clue either!
Shots are really good, but story...... flat. Remember, story is everything!
This goes nowhere. Cinematography isn't bad tho. Nice work there.
Do you mind elaborating? Thank you for your comment!
Creative Clan Well the story is almost non existent with no reliable structure. It ends abruptly with no explanation, no arc, no nothing. “What’s going on?” Is what I thought the entire film and more so at the end which really isn’t an ending but an abrupt cut to black. Again, there is no discernible story or motivation. This is more of an exercise in cinematography and in that sense it works. As a film it does not.
Understandable. The story is aimed at a specific demographic (who seemed to understand it). But I can also see where someone could not relate to what’s going on and therefore miss the intended message.
Love getting feedback so thank you!
Creative Clan I’m sorry to insist but what story? And don’t confuse story with theme. Struggling worker with a child is a theme not a story. Do you understand my point?
Cool shortfilm but we need to stop doing "Black Struggle" films. Its depressing. Alot of black americans arent struggling or can relate to this. And im not surprised an african wrote this.
Point noted however this was not written by an African. Was written by an African American male and was meant to portray real life struggles from his point of view and upbringing (Detroit, MI). But definitely agree that this is not the reality of all African Americans. Thank you for the comment!
