Director Thomas Vanz delivers a stunning and breathtaking short film which is a total pleasure to experience. It’s films like this that push creatives to new boundaries and sets new expectations for new films. This artistic triumph and visually expressive piece delivers an impactful message which audiences should witness. It’s essential that films like this are made so as to provoke deep emotion and thoughtful discussion.

The visuals throughout the film grab your attention straight away and are of the highest standard. The production value in this is incredibly high and wouldn’t look out of place on the silver screen. The choice of visuals and colour palette creates a moody and artistic quality which gives it a unique identity not seen in other films. The use of drone footage match seamlessly with the animated scenes and only elevate the scale of the message Vanz is exploring.

Everything in this film works and works well. The score, editing, voiceover, colour grade and visuals all burst out of the screen. Films like this deserve to be seen by as many viewers as possible to do it justice. It’s an immersive and abstract experience which resonates with you and provokes an emotional connection. We’re proud to give this film 5 stars.
