Hello! We are so sorry that you didn’t enjoy the film. However, please keep in mind that everyone who worked on OTMA was/is a young creative who wanted to share a story and this is in no way a professional production. We remind you to please voice your concerns in a way that shows kindness and respect for the cast, creative team and other commenters. We encourage the sharing of information and opinions in the comments but ask that you foster a place of understanding and peace. If you would like to discuss your concerns with a creative please email us at otmashortfilm@gmail.com. Thank you!

Chill out. This wasn’t a professional production & believe me, it could have been WAY worse. I think it’s all right for what it is. If you came in, expecting some historically accurate motion picture, prepare to be disappointed

I mean, what was wrong with the physical appearances? And what, are they supposed to fake accents? And how were they not kind?

Darn good catch!

@@roses-of-the-romanovs Thank you.

Who cares Mr. Picky Pants it's fan made from the heart so it doesn't matter they can speak Japanese and it still would be well done

@@nelliethursday1812 ridiculous comment.

@@michaelflick1177 what do you want? An apology for they were born American and grew up in way of their utterances?

@@kentbaluyuttheawesome they were Russian and never had American accents when speaking English!

​@@michaelflick1177 Come on la.. just enjoy the show. At least it's fun to watch.

But she was also very mischievous and roguish!

Very excellent ❤

Thank you for commenting! We are happy to address your concerns. OTMA was written and filmed after extensive research which we honored. That being said this short film does not focus on large aspects of the Russian Revolution but rather is a brief study of each sister’s daily life and personality (set around 1914). Each sister is given a 2-4 minute segment that explores their personality and relationships with one another in a day to day setting. So this particular film is rather simplistic, where you may be looking for a detailed account of the lives of the Grand Duchesses. In which case I personally recommend “Romanovs: The Royal Martyrs” or “Nicholas and Alexandra” as you already listed. That this is a student film, created entirely young women in their teens. So the filming of OTMA also served as a learning experience for the cast and crew. Filming and writing different genres, working with new equipment, as well as portraying a historical figure were all focus areas during creation, and there are bound to be mistakes. Nether the less, we hope you will enjoy the film and thank you for sharing your thoughts. 🤍

@@otmashortfilm7587 I hope I didn't touch a nerve with my comment. Indeed, a disinterested party could assume that you were self-conscious about your production since your detailed response sounds defensive. I can only hope that you are a man of your word. And yes, I am presuming your gender, so please don't hold it against me. With that said, your stance on authenticity is refreshing, especially since, at the moment, in the entertainment industry, there are too many people who have zero respect for pre-existing intellectual property, whether it be books, old movies, or even historical characters. And these producers, directors, and showrunners justified their disrespect by claiming that they are updating old stories for a "modern audience." Anyone who has watched the Netflix series Bridgerton, Anne Boleyn miniseries from 2021, and the Amazon Prime series the Rings of Power, knows very well that these efforts at revising these IP'S are nothing more than cultural vandalism. Luckily, audiences have been rejecting these efforts at modernizing old stories, and the big bosses in the entertainment industry are slowly getting the message. Ordinary people don't want to waste their time and money on programs pushing propaganda. Especially if the program was made to push a narrative that contradicts their values. Hopefully, your future endeavors will be safe from those who have made it their mission to use the entertainment industry as a fulcrum to perpetuate dogma or ideology. Or, as Jack Valenti once said, "no amount of hype will help a bad movie, but no amount of bad press will hurt a good movie." (◠‿◠✿)
