    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 ❤️✨️

    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

    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 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.

    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.
