All these stressors and pressure from outside sources and then have a husband like that to add to the stress … this was very well played and easy to understand what was happening
Literally in tears … because I’m going through exactly what the character is going through right now …. It’s all so much… you know when you cry … but the tears just keep flowing no matter how much you try to wipe them away…. Ugh I’m so tired, mentally drained but I keep fighting because I have 6 your old son that needs me … so I’m fighting my HARDEST… At times I feel like I’m suffocating… so I find myself like her… placing myself comforting settings just to have a peace of mind… Excellent film ❤ …. 😢
Thank you for the kind words. Life can be brutally difficult at times and I'm sorry you're going through it right now. Kudos to you for keeping on. Things can and will get better and I hope they do for you very soon!
This is such a great horror short!! Jackie Kelly once again showing just how talented she is. I didn’t want it to end, I was left wanting more!! Amazing work from everyone involved.
Wow, that was deep!! Loved the way Anxiety and Sress played out. I know what they feel like, believe me. The actors did a terrific job. Kudos to the rest of the team too👍
this movie is affecting me on levels I didn’t think a movie could. This is what it’s like to have severe anxiety and mental illness. When people shrug you off, when you can’t get the medication you need, but you can’t explain to people the awful situation that you’re in that you want out of. I am in this right now. Although this movie is terrifying me currently, I appreciate that somebody can visually describe what this is like. For example, it’s two in the afternoon, and I am in bed, all day with the sheets pulled over me watching RUclips because the world is too scary right now.
Ugh. I'm glad you could appreciate the movie but I'm sorry to hear you're going through it right now. The world is scary. And overwhelming. I hope things get better soon.
@@andycompton I see where that could have been dicey. You handled the subject matter tactfully and kept it from being a string of easy clichés. In particular, the bum rush at the car was spot on. Unexpected and definitely overwhelming.
*Edit TBC, I like this film very much, even if it was difficult to watch. Andy Compton (writer and director) did a great job. Almost too good. The rest is me venting a bit, it’s not directed the writer or anyone else who worked on this film. Me saying it’s triggering has to with me and my experience, not the film. End edit. (Up top so ppl notice the good 1st.) Very good film, except now some bad memories are coming back, parltly why it’s good. Very triggering and very real. The actress was phenomenal. The fiancé was loathsome asshole, i’m so glad she got away from him. Having experienced similar situations, being asked “why can’t you be normal” by a worthless jerk, I seriously hated him for her. It’s like the male filmmaker thought up a script explaining exactly why so many women don’t trust and occasionally hate all men to the point that even the good ones end up getting mixed in there. How can you tell someone’s a completely selfish asshole who’ll insult and demean you when you’re at your most vulnerable when you first meet them? Better not to trust and keep yourself safe. (And yes, I know women can be abusive and horrible too, that’s just not the situation here.)
@ I really did enjoy it even if it was difficult. It was so real, the accuracy of how one feels in such circumstances is excellent., +I tend to get wrapped up in characters in books and film. I could fell her relief as she drove away. All the compliments in the comments are well deserved. I love short films and yours is excellent. Your writing and the actress’s acting made a great short.🩶
@ Sure, I need to edit my comment to make that clear. I don’t want others to get the impression you or your short film is horrible or exploitive. Another reason I liked it. (if you can, please pass on my compliments to Jackie Kelly, I looked at the cast names and figured she must play the lead. I thought she was amazing.) Anyway, I subscribed to your channel, looking forward to watching your other films. :)

This short is firing on all cylinders. Acting. Editing. Sound design. It’s all on point. Loved it

Incredible work and an extraordinary performance from Jackie Kelly. Honored to have written the music for this banger! Proud of us man.
Dude, your score brought so much to the movie. Couldn't have done it without you! I'm proud of us too!
She really played an anxiety stricken person quite well.
Thank you, and agreed. She nailed it.
I’m three minutes in and already triggered, that’s the sign of spectacular directing, bravo already
Thank you so much!
Andy Compton is an elite filmmaker and writer. Need the algorithm to off with this one.
Thank you brother! I would love the algorithm to go off with this one 🥲
This is how it feels: noticing everything all at once.
This is such a great horror short!! Jackie Kelly once again showing just how talented she is. I didn’t want it to end, I was left wanting more!! Amazing work from everyone involved.
Ah, thank you so much! Jackie is the absolute best. Such a pleasure working with her.
Yessssssss
Ugh this is so good. Stoked it’s finally up on RUclips.
Yeahhhh boyyyy. Appreciate you watching! It's here to stay on RUclips
Well I've read the comments. Am I the only one that sees the psychosis?
Very good film.
Thank you!
Wow!! That was so good. The only issue was that it wasn't long enough ❤
Aw, thank you! I was worried about the run time being long and this put me at ease haha.
Oh my goodness. That not a horror short that’s a documentary. The actress was phenomenal.
Haha, right? This is my average Tuesday. Thank you for checking it out!
Wow, that was deep!! Loved the way Anxiety and Sress played out. I know what they feel like, believe me.
The actors did a terrific job. Kudos to the rest of the team too👍
Thank you so much for checking it out! Glad it resonated. And yes, the whole team crushed!
Excellent work.

This was superb, and the lead actress was absolutely fantastic!
Thank you so much! Yes, Jackie Kelly is incredible. Such a pleasure to direct her.
Been waiting for this !!
Ah, thank you! I hope you like it!
Incredibly professional handling and clever approach to mental struggles through the lens horrific tension.
Man, thank you so much! Really appreciate the feedback! Not gonna lie, I was nervous about taking this one on and I'm glad it feels clever.

@@Ghostb11 appreciate it man! That was the hardest scene I've ever directed haha. So many moving parts.
Best horror short I’ve seen all year
Thank you so much dude!
Very nicely shot. Well done, Andy!
Thank you, Tod! Appreciate you checking it out!
Love it please post more 💙💙💙👍👍👍👍
I have a few more things coming out soon! Filmmaking is expensive! haha
Great little short, excited to see more of your work
@@slitherydeefilms thanks so much! Have a few more shorts on the channel, too if you're ever bored!
@@andycompton cool! I just got serious about shorts a couple years ago. I hope you enjoy mine as well. Cheers!

@@ZolaClyde oh I didn't take it that way so all good! I will pass it on to Jackie! Thanks again!
Fantastic film, I watched it at Sliff. I also loved “Us + 1” it was funny.
Appreciate you, Oscar! Nice meeting you at the festival, man
Nice meeting you too, hope to work with you soon.
very good
Thank you!
Amazing Andy! Would love to read the script if it’s available somewhere.
Thank you! I'm down to share the script. Where can I send it? You can find me elsewhere and DM if you'd prefer not putting your email out here
Really good!
Thank you!
well done!
Thank you!
Incredible acting! ❤❤❤
@@adhdunsupervised7800 thank you so much!
Can someone exsplain the end was she imagining them all including her boyfriend who were they all at the end was it jn her head very depressing and realistic had tears in my eyes watching how awful jt is for her or anyone going through panic attacks
Thank you! You get it. It’s terrifying. And find the right way to ask to be taken seriously, mid panic attack…it’s awful.
I am so confused at end. Was the people real at end ?? Or she was just in head ?
It’s in her head. This is her mental illness, out of control, and she’s terrified and can’t get the help she needs.
Oh wow. That was some deep s h i t right there. Absolutely FCKING brilliant! What an incredible actress. Bravo!
Thank you! Agreed, Jackie Kelly is an incredible actress!
Nice work Andy!
Any BTS you care to share? 😁
Thank you! Like a BTS story? I have some BTS pics on my IG but not much lmao
This is not horror. This is depression. A mental health awareness video disguised as a short horror flick, how very deceiving.
Yummy yummy good good! 😮
Thank you bb 🥰
