    i'm surprised this was at the top of my home page but I'm glad it was! super dope, well shot and well acted. better than 99% of the stuff I saw while I was working towards my BFA thats for sure
  • @VanJA2102
    Super surprised how good the acting and cinematography in this was!

    It is not four weeks without food. It is the 3 3's. Three minutes without air, three days without water, three weeks without food.
  • Excellent short movie. I like particularly how you connect the legend of the wendigo (at least, that's the image that came in my mind when I saw the ominous shadow outside the tent in the night, when the two companions were inside, terrified by the creepy sound they heard) and the survival obsession of the young lad who killed his friend in the forest. Most of the time, the worst and more terrifying ennemies we can encounter are inside us. In that way, wild nature is a powerful revealing of our darkest pulsions.
  • Amazing short hooked all the way... everything was good acting, story the chemistry and more hope to see more of your stuff thank u

    Spoilerss--- i think the idea behind it was that his friend was actually the demon, and he was just luring his prey? and when the accidentally gave him the upper hand and was eaten by the kid, it shows his wounds from the kid eating him. idk my guess

    I always have appreciation for anyone that takes the time and effort to make a film. I can not do it! However the idea was ok. But it did not hold my attention. Did not make much sense and I am sorry it was not for me.
