oh my god this is insane! the tension is SO WELL DONE. the actress in the blue shirt absolutely stole the scene. the angles, the music, the acting, everything is so perfectly eerie. as someone who grew up in the church, i felt every single second of this!!! god i hope someone picks this up for a feature!
really enjoyed the sound design and directing in this, also how intentional everything felt right from the start. The jarring angles every character was filmed from compared to Kennerdy's wider more relaxed frames served the general eeriness well too. The overwhelming feeling that Noah entered a trap/maze was nicely portrayed too (peeping the uncomfortably misplaced EXIT sign tho idk if that was a coincidence lol). The dialogue and the pacing felt disturbing too. I like how both Noah and the people at the church had their seperate but obvious thirst/desire/ want expressed throughout the film. How Noah was in a constant back and forth battle of choosing between pursuing her desire for singing and recognition and listening to all the warning signs and sirens screaming at her to leave lol. Overall, really fascinating work, would love to see more of your productions and wishing the best for you guys and Kennedy
as a film student and as someone who's been following kennedy for quite some years now, this is amazing. the way she became her character is unreal. but the way i could feel the temperature and the smells of that church was insane. the photography, the sound!! what an amazing work! i hope to see more from all of you soon. greetings from argentina :)
So many good actors in this! The first lady noah meets her voice acting was amazing and then the audition lady in blue omg she sent chills down my spine!❤
The first conversation noah and dawn had *chefs kiss* i felt uneasy as if I’m in the same room as them also the camera pointing at dawn without any background music just the eerie wind blowing was unsettling AND BRILLIANT
Kennedy's acting improved so much. She really embodied the character so much. I was mad of how short this film is but it's SHORT film after all. Someone give Kennedy more acting career EDITTED : The short film is too short but the plots is very good. I really just want to see more to be honest, because it's too good to be that short. 😂 Hunter Livingston & the team did really good job capturing all the creepiness, unsettling feelings and THE SOUNDS is insane... it's almost like asmr which i love so much. I'm excited to see his future projects and hopefully brings back Kennedy ❤️✨️
12:18 I love how the framing switches from more negative space to the right (noah) to more negative space to the left (other characters), making it appear claustrophobic and eerie. also the lightning on noah is much softer; whereas on the girl it casts harsh shadows.
In the last scene where the camera is held by the lady in the blue shirt, you can see that Noah realizes that what she previously felt was somewhat eerie is now a virtually inescapable threat. The look on her face really got me.
Wow, I honestly wish this was a full blown movie. The acting was incredible and I was so unnerved through the whole thing that I couldn’t look away. Love this!!!
LOVE the reveal of the camera aspect ratio and quality at the end. What a fun way to have a mini twist that thats what we saw the whole time. Great stuff
The way Kennedy can convey so much emotion by doing so little. The body movements, the hesitance, she is brilliant. Hollywood is not ready for Kennedy Claire Walsh
I know there are so many other actors in this short film, but Kennedy was amazing. She became the character. It's amazing seeing her like this, when tomorrow, I'll be watching her hilariously rating foods with Brandon & Claudia. Proud of Kennedy! 🙏💕 Amazing work, amazing film.
OMG this short is so much better than many suspense films I've seen, congratulations, I loved it!! and Kennedy, I've been following you for years and I'm very proud of you, you really are a spectacular actress! I can't wait to see you in other films and see you fulfilling your dream
Kennedy was great! But I actually don't grasp the idea of this shortfilm...What was this even about and what will happen to kennedy's character? Kennedy's acting improved but I feel like it wasn't natural in some parts, which is obvious bc it's her starting out. I would LOVE to see some other shortfilm with her
this comment by @pseudonymousbeing987 I think the main story beat here is realising the mini twist at the end where we see that the camera they have is the same aspect ratio and video quality as the brief gory flashes of someone's vocal chords being removed which tells us that it's not just visions or metaphorical imagery, but that it's real video of someone recorded on a camera that belongs to the church. Presumably Noah's vocal chords.
This is amazing!!! I would love to see this as a whole show where we could learn more about every little detail and see how it would end. Kennedy's acting was perfect we need to see more of her in movies!! The whole movie was made in such an interesting and eerie way I love it
Well this was.. quite the film, everyone was brilliant. I was actually sort of thrown off that it ended so quickly. I forgot that it was a short film, haha! Kennedy and all the other actors were so great, y'all really sold the story. If this somehow ever turned into a full length feature film I'd definitely buy tickets to see it!
THIS IS SO GOOD OMG I CANT WAIT FOR MORE KENNEDY’S FUTURE WORK!! also great job for all the people involved as well, i wish this was a two hour long movie 😭
This gave me chills. I need a sequel or a full movie. Kennedy was amazing, for a second i forgot she was Kennedy from UA-cam abd vlogs. And her voice wow. She has improved
Kennedy's acting really did improve compared to her acting in Intern in Chief. Her micro expressions were nice to see and feels more natural. As for the film itself, maybe because it is a short film but the plot is ambiguous. I'm guessing the goal is to leave it to the viewer's interpretation but it definitely needs more scenes that will give us an idea. It would add more sense if there were more shots that were focusing on her neck while the woman is staring weirdly at it and then randomly showing shots of her being covered in blood or a close up shot of her eyes crying but looking empty along with the scenes of flesh being cut. But still, the film was able to make the viewer uncomfortable so that's still good. It's nice to see her acting and hopefully this provides her a stepping stone to getting more roles. Congrats to the whole team.
@@IngridComicsi went to different religious meetings and they all acted like that. I tried different Christian denominations too and they all acted like cults.. insulting other denominations. God isn’t the author of confusion.
@@LagoonaGhoul12 Wow, im so sorry to hear that! :( That's very sad that christian people will act this and feel this creepy. I've personally never experienced this type of evil at a church. Please never go back to those evil false churches again if you got the same feelings you got in this video! :(
IM SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU KENNY. I’VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF YOUR UA-cam CHANNEL AND I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ACTING SO THIS IS AMAZING
Oh I loved this!!! I wish it would make to a full film, I was so invested in the characters and the story! It gave me Suspiria vibes, which I absolutely adore so good job!!!
I really liked the cinematrography, editing and few intentional camera shots! And of course the acting. I just wish the story was elaborated a few minutes more, but other than that pretty good!
I don't want to offend anyone, people are already calling this blasphemous, lol, so I won't go into detail, but I'll give a little bit of insight. This film really reminded me of how I grew up, in a very religious household, and the indoctrination I went through. I'm not saying all religious people are like this, but my family happened to be, so this is based off my experience! Anyway, I think what this short film is trying to portray is how Evangelists go a little overboard and put pressure on people to follow their faith. Noah (Kennedy) clearly isn't religious, and was visibly uncomfortable the whole time, but her passion for singing made her stick around longer than she probably wanted. Maybe she was trying to leverage being a soloist to kickstart her music career, but realized how deep this church really goes with their faith. Especially when she tried to leave, and was essentially forced into staying, basically pressuring her to give into Christ. If you've seen Midsommar, it's very similar to this, super cult-like. Again, not saying every religious person is like this, but a lot do happen to be. I don't know, this is just my theory, but this whole film was unsettling. I can see why some people wouldn't get it, especially if they themselves are faithful, because unless you're on the outside looking in, you don't really know how cultish it truly is. There's being religious, and then being an Evangelist, this is the latter. I'm not saying it's wrong, but it definitely teeters on very bizarre and uncomfortable.
Kennedy’s acting honestly seemed off and inconsistent. Her characters behavior didn’t make sense and her personality seemed to be changing over the course of the film in an unnatural way. Idk anything I say will be seen as hating or trolling but that’s my honest opinion. Kristy on the other hand was impeccable, her acting was great and made the production feel more expensive than it probably was.
the acting and directing were great, however I don't get it. I like the eerie feel of it but I wish we saw more of the youth group and how Noah isn't able to get away from them which would add to the anxiety of the situation. I felt like she could've left at any moment plus they didn't seem like much of a threat just a bit weird.
kennedys acting has truly imroved so much! my only critique is everytime shes walking around, shes clearly walking towards her mark for the shot, it doesnt feel super natural. otherwise amazing, amazing work!
Dude i was so invested that i started to look for the “next episode” button 😢. But then realized i was watching a shirt film on youtube and not a new series on netflix. THIS WAS SO GOOOOOOD, so uncomfy and everything ugh.
Kennedy is genuinely awesome, her acting is more reacting and it feels natural, even though the angles are intimidatingly close sometimes :D but it fits so well, I get that she has expressive face and you can see the discomfort throughout isn't subtle on her, but she has depth, especially lovely to see the microexpressions in the dimmed light, it's intense. To everyone involved, it was lovely watching the film, definitely an expirience, thanks : ] 🧡
this was insane. ive come across this film because of kennedy, but i really felt the thrill and tension on the ending i had to look away! awesome work!
the cinematography makes you feel as if you can smell the rooms and feel light dust on the railings, love that
bro i was just gonna say like why can i smell the church their in??😭
@@cici.J i know, it's really that good
You've said what I couldn't put in words 🩷❤️
Yellow light.
The lady with the blue t-shirt is so good she gave me chills
She was scary as hell
Im sorry but kennedy is honestly amazing in this. Give this woman an acting career already!
why are you sorry
Why are you sorry
Why are you sorry
Why are you sorry
sorry you are why
oh my god this is insane! the tension is SO WELL DONE. the actress in the blue shirt absolutely stole the scene. the angles, the music, the acting, everything is so perfectly eerie. as someone who grew up in the church, i felt every single second of this!!! god i hope someone picks this up for a feature!

Congratulations to Kennedy for living her dream of becoming an actress! 🥰
The lady in the blue shirt that she auditioned for ATE, nailed the weird christian behavior to a T
The first conversation noah and dawn had *chefs kiss* i felt uneasy as if I’m in the same room as them also the camera pointing at dawn without any background music just the eerie wind blowing was unsettling AND BRILLIANT
You can feel the tension throughout the whole movie, it is insanely good! Definitely watching it again

@@potatoisme6953 i know right? I've watched several times because it's so good but it's sad how short it is 😂
Kennedy I'm so proud of you! This short film is everything I love in film, the lighting and color choices are phenomenal
12:18 I love how the framing switches from more negative space to the right (noah) to more negative space to the left (other characters), making it appear claustrophobic and eerie. also the lightning on noah is much softer; whereas on the girl it casts harsh shadows.
I loved this. Particularly the performances of Noa and Kirsty. I wish it was a whole film. Great job everyone!
Kennedy is an amazing actress and this gives me old 2000s horror vibes kinda like haunting of molly Hartley I’m obsessed!
This short film looks expensive. The sound, sinematography and acting..!!! Everything is spot on
In the last scene where the camera is held by the lady in the blue shirt, you can see that Noah realizes that what she previously felt was somewhat eerie is now a virtually inescapable threat. The look on her face really got me.

excited to watch Kennedy rock this
the style of filming is so cool! plus the two older women were great actors. Kennedy also has improved so much! bravo to you

same, I still feel like she's trying too hard
I’m so excited to watch this, I have been enthusiastically awaiting this moment for so long ofmshskhf
definitely did not disappoint. Kennedy, you‘re a great actress and if you want to, you can make it very far.
our actress kennedy♡ you will become a STAR!
This film perfectly encompassed the unsettling feeling of being surrounded by religious people when you yourself are not
This is amazing!!! I would love to see this as a whole show where we could learn more about every little detail and see how it would end. Kennedy's acting was perfect we need to see more of her in movies!! The whole movie was made in such an interesting and eerie way I love it
I found the plot kind of anticlimactic but maybe I’m just not getting it. However, the actors and cinematography was great!
I don't really understand either.... if there was a more clear ending maybe? its a short so i feel like it needed a little more?
Wasted 10 precious minutes here (at 2x speed), hoping for the plot to come to something decent. 10 minutes gone.
Well this was.. quite the film, everyone was brilliant. I was actually sort of thrown off that it ended so quickly. I forgot that it was a short film, haha! Kennedy and all the other actors were so great, y'all really sold the story. If this somehow ever turned into a full length feature film I'd definitely buy tickets to see it!
I was just gonna say this is such a good concept for a full lenght movie I hope someday it becomes one
THIS IS SO GOOD OMG I CANT WAIT FOR MORE KENNEDY’S FUTURE WORK!! also great job for all the people involved as well, i wish this was a two hour long movie 😭
This gave me chills. I need a sequel or a full movie. Kennedy was amazing, for a second i forgot she was Kennedy from UA-cam abd vlogs. And her voice wow. She has improved
Kennedy is so amazing! She needs to be in a movie!
I loved your acting Kennedy, it was so natural and authentic. Hope to see you embodying many other characters
in her scream queen era 👑

shaking with anticipation
I loved this short film, i loved the creepy eerie vibe it was giving off. Also Kennedy ate with her acting skills☝🏼
Kennedy did amazing as well as the other actors, I know it’s a short film but I wanted more
this captures so well how extremely religious people can be scary in such an unsettling way... it's like they're being mind controlled
You mean....people that belong to cults that are evil...lol. I'm pretty religious and never went to any sunday meeting that felt this gross. lollll

IM SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU KENNY. I’VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF YOUR UA-cam CHANNEL AND I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ACTING SO THIS IS AMAZING
Great singing Kennedy
I cant even associate Noah with Kennedy. She did so well with this character.
This needed a part 2 badly 😭😭🥹
that line delivery “fit in” is soooo megan fox coded
Wow Kennedy was amazing! Can’t wait to see what she does in the future
Kennedy I have chills¡¡¡¡ amazing. Send you love from Colombia¡
Oh I loved this!!! I wish it would make to a full film, I was so invested in the characters and the story! It gave me Suspiria vibes, which I absolutely adore so good job!!!
I was so scared when she peeked around the corner, was so ready to jump 😂😂
I'd have been freaked as hell right from the beginning and bailed right out the door.
I really liked the cinematrography, editing and few intentional camera shots! And of course the acting. I just wish the story was elaborated a few minutes more, but other than that pretty good!
I agree 100%. I dont really get the story.
yess same i liked it but i'm kinda confused

This was really good I’m surprised this channel doesn’t have more subscribers. Also I love Kennedy 😍
I was in a short film in college and it is scary how similar it looked to this. With the red coat and staircase and everything!

yep, everyone is praising the acting and analyzing every angle, but seems like most missed the script is shit.
I need this to become a feature film
First 25 secs showed me she is a good actress.
The blue shirt girl did great!

This is amazing Kennedy I hope this takes you to places !!
My girl can do anything at this point she delivered!!!!!!!!! I need more of her acting and singing!
Kennedy´s acting have improved so much. She´s perfect in this !!

I’m convinced there’s nothing Kennedy can’t do at this point
we knew kennedy was talented but i think she exceeded expectations in this!!🖤🖤
I’m sooo super proud of Kennedy she did so amazing in this I can’t see what they do next 💖🥰🌷✨
This is so beautiful and well-made!!! I loved Kennedy in it!

So proud of Kennedy and the whole team! This is amazing guys!!
Waiting with the utmost impatience
Kennedy ate this up I’m so proud, from seeing her make a crepe cake back in like 2018 to this! Incredible
Dude i was so invested that i started to look for the “next episode” button 😢. But then realized i was watching a shirt film on youtube and not a new series on netflix. THIS WAS SO GOOOOOOD, so uncomfy and everything ugh.
kennedy did so amazing !!!! that’s our actress !!!
What the hell did I just watch and why do I wish it was longer I need moreeee
