What a great short film!

We really liked the start. It set up who the main character was, her opinions, her surreal sense of humour, and that she would talk directly to the audience. It was endearing and original. We also liked when you had her talk directly to the camera to say “Saved by the bell!” It was funny and reinforced that connection with the audience. 
...

We really liked that you incorporated special effects into your concept. We could see you were already thinking about how you could make your film with professionals in the industry. That being said, we also thought you did a great job without having to rely on complicated special effects - the simple yellow then blue backdrops behind her and her imaginary friends was effective!

We also liked the ending. It seemed to suggest that her friends would turn on her. It started to raise the question of how real they actually were, and if they did have a separate conscience what would they do next to make sure they remained alive in her imagination. What would they do to stop her from having a phone? Where would that take them next? 
...

Well done on a captivating and original film – keep up the fantastic work!
