I don’t want to say too much since I did heavily help out in the film a lot so I’ll keep it to what I was surprised by.

The editing was so sick. Felt like I was watching like a Nolan or something. Score was very diverse which was cool too. Pacing felt a little bit off at sometimes but I can’t blame it when you’re trying to cram a full story of greed, power, and corruption into 30 minutes.

And speaking of, it’s a very bold and different take for director Aidan Schachter to go down. Comparing this to his previous short, which was more heartfelt and youthful, this tackles subjects far too early for one to be thinking about as a freshman, which I like as it wouldn’t be as exciting to see the same story and teenage cast again.

Lastly, I greatly appreciate the film’s bleak ending, as a happily-ever-after would not have suited this story at all. This short feels more real then ever, because resolutions tied up in a neat little bow are very hard to come by when you’re in a setting like Walter Schmitt. Very excited for the future of Rhett Films and to (hopefully) be a part of it again.
