      Back about year later, the shots in this short film are sub par. Not the best, it captures one thing at a time, shots should have multiple things happening at once unless it’s an insert. And the dialogue is boring and almost predictable. People are praising the “what do you shoot?” Dialogue exchange, but it isn’t actually good because it accomplishes nothing for the story and we learn nothing new about the characters either. What I have noted is what all dialogue conversations should strive for. One last thing about the dialogue is that it seems to go like this “question?” “Answer” “question?” “Answer” too predictable. Dialogue should be more interesting than this. Give the audience 2+2. Never 4.

      ​@@lucapizzoleo What a picture!! Hooked from the beginning. Love the attention to detail, like the fact that his watch is on the inside of his wrist, the clothes, hairstyles... awesome. Also, the music- wow! Overall a beautiful short film. Can't wait to see more of you (and definitely Ray Fritz too).

    This is such an excellent film. Not only are the story and cinematography great, but so is the production design. The 1970s is a look that’s easy to get wrong, purely because of how unique it is, but everything from the costuming, to the mise-en-scene in this film was superb.
    10/10!

    Gripping lil film. Great script, acting and directing. I lived in Penngrove just outside of Petaluma in 1977. Thought it was a quiet little town---we went out and watched chickens laying eggs on Saturday night on account of Petaluma touting itself as the egg capital of the world. Also appreciate the attention to detail--the polyester leisure suit the realtor wore and the architecture of the house.

    Well done. Costumes, music, settings, spot on 70's. Acting was very good as well. Unfortunate for David, the second guy showed up for the open house. Too bad for Tom, letting his desire for revenge to stretch out too long. Frank warned him about that. Tom should have taken the advice and had Sam go with him. Apparently Frank knew Mark pretty well. Nice, slick film.

    I legit forgot I was watching a short film for a couple of reasons:
    1) The cinematography feels like Quentin Tarantino, it doesn't feel like what a short film usually looks like.
    2) Color grading - I can't get anywhere close to how beautiful this short film looked. It's stunning, breathe taking, gorgeous to just look at
    3) The acting - everybody felt natural and the suspense was real
    4) The editing - Don't even get me started on that. Luca is a whole different breed for putting so much effort in a short film
    Overall - What a beautiful short film to watch. I would love to be part of the crew in any possible way but I'm a college kid lol. Still, what a fucking beauty
