James Mayfield has spent the last decade performing a one man show from his youth in an attempt to trigger memories that are very important to him. However things take a turn when he is pushed into closing his show with a little help from some lost memories. Mayfield has to find the limit of how many times he can relive a moment before his memory changes.

The leading actor was amazing

[@NathanRibau]

Underwater shots were gold

[@ReelHorizonProductions]

This is a truly beautiful and moving film. Phenomenal job. I am curious, what camera did you shoot on?

[@mustafahesham1265]

great script, directing , cinematography , sounds , actor.....great job Zach.....keep going.....waiting for more.

[@melanieodonnell8598]

Zach, this was a truly incredible piece of work. A work of art, truly. I found the concept behind the film very personally touching, and I also think this film proved that a powerful performance from such a talented actor can make the story so much deeper and connecting to an audience. Leaving the filmmaker side of me behind (even though I was melting over the perfect cinematography and sound design), personally I struggle a lot with dwelling on the past and overthinking past moments. Although there seems to be, and I do understand, a concrete idea behind the story, I couldn't help but feel there was a slight ambiguity within which helped me connect more to the film. You achieved something very rare, an ambiguous film that led to a feeling of certainty at the denouement. BRAVO!

just discovered this BEAUTIFUL film then went to follow you on insta and realized u were from Ohio 🤩

[@billycasper3351]

Thanks lewis.

[@balisongmovie8792]

well done.

[@user-km6jm5kt9l]

Such a masterpiece ❤️
I really enjoyed the feel of it and encouraged me to do a short film,
I have always wanted to be a director but I don’t have the money and I’m a senior in high school what advice you give me to produce a solid short film?!!

[@zachdaulton]

Start small. Make a bunch of little short films and work your way up to the idea you really want to make. Practice as much as you can.

[@user-km6jm5kt9l]

Thanks

[@randomboys1000]

A+ man. very powerful

[@belladonnapictures]

Excellent short, the lead performance was marvelous. This deserves more views.

[@juansemosquera]

Que pieza cinematográfica más hermosa. Todavía estoy conmovido. Bravo!

[@JzaJook]

Zach this was amazing piece of work. My grandmother passed away and my grandfather said there's no point in living anymore. This film almost had me in tears but my soul definitely cried. Great work man! I would love to see more work from you as I am also a filmmaker.
