I enjoyed this story. It was so sweet. I’m new to this site though, is the creator of the video the same person that wrote the script or did they have to kinda buy the script in order to use it to make the video?

I’m the writer, director and co-producer of this film. In other words, I did not have to pay for the script. 🙂

Hey, I think you wrote a cool story. I really enjoyed reading the script.

I think your film could have been more powerful, if you had a few cutaways of the scenes as the two guys tell their stories. It really did not have to be shots of a truck flying 20 feet in thee air and explosions( a simple shot of Jim, in his military uniform, just after the explosion , laying on the ground, tight shots, cheat a location, a smoke machine you could have done the trick). The same with Vernon, a close up on a frightened 10 year old boy, his face, walking barefoot. I really don’t know but you could have easily cheated those shots, for the viewer experience.

You did a good job, with the effect when Jim was trying to recall the name of the contractor. I felt like the your movie needed 2 – 3 other moments like that ( which would have obviously been the cutaways I’m talking about).

I say this only because, generally long dialog scenes are hard to shoot. That’s even if you have beautiful dialog, it’s only a matter of before you lose your audience if the scene not creatively shot. But I must say, you shot it well. I might just think you missing these shots because I was seeing them in my head whilst reading the script.. Let me just go watch the film again just to convince myself I’m not seeing things that aren’t there.

With all that being said, cool story, cool film man. Well done.
