I absolutely love this short film. It's so original, and the writer put a lot of encouraging thoughts into it. This heartfelt film helps people stay strong even when they don't know where to start. When life feels troubled from every single side, it reminds us we never have to live in doubt or fear.
This writer/director clearly put a lot of time, effort, and creativity into this short film. I loved the backgrounds, scenery, and beautiful music; everything just flowed and blended together perfectly.
