Well done! This film is true of today’s reality, of the thoughts and impact a black persons goes through every day, when trying to be positive and ambitious in life.
The film is a very realistic depiction of some of the discussions and challenges faced by young people, particularly young black men. Very well constructed

Powerful film! Does a huge amount in a short space of time. Economical filmmaking, simple and very effective. Thanks for making it.
Good insight,
So very impressive great work from such a young writer …. Amazing
Great little short, sound design immense, heartfelt
Truthful. I can relate being black myself. Everyday is a struggle.
Thought provoking how it must feel if you haven’t got a solid foundation. Which this world doesn’t truly afford a us in the main stream having that foundation is a true privilege. That effects every area of life. This film reminds me not to take that for granted.
This needs to be scene

So tru, everyone needs to c this & no this happens…all can it’s amazing!..
Communicates a lot, really succinctly, well done Ryan!
Powerful short film by a great team. Keep up the fantastic work guys!
Very nice indeed
Unoriginal and don’t agree with the narrative, I just think its really lazy thinking and not a enjoyable film either. I can see I am in the minority.
Nice colours and sound design. Congrats Ryan!
THought this was great. Stands out. Really hits a haunting tone with the soundscape/sound bites. Top work!
It’s not only for being black but for everybody who’s under pressure in any ways such as poverty, being minority in the society. In that way, this can be universal.
