the cinematography makes you feel as if you can smell the rooms and feel light dust on the railings, love that
bro i was just gonna say like why can i smell the church their in??😭
@@cici.J i know, it's really that good
You've said what I couldn't put in words 🩷❤️
Yellow light.
Im sorry but kennedy is honestly amazing in this. Give this woman an acting career already!
why are you sorry
Why are you sorry
Why are you sorry
Why are you sorry
sorry you are why
The lady with the blue t-shirt is so good she gave me chills
She was scary as hell
SO PROUD OF YOU KENNEDY!!
POTATOI
oh my god this is insane! the tension is SO WELL DONE. the actress in the blue shirt absolutely stole the scene. the angles, the music, the acting, everything is so perfectly eerie. as someone who grew up in the church, i felt every single second of this!!! god i hope someone picks this up for a feature!
The lady in the blue shirt that she auditioned for ATE, nailed the weird christian behavior to a T
Kennedy's acting improved so much. She really embodied the character so much. I was mad of how short this film is but it's SHORT film after all. Someone give Kennedy more acting career
EDITTED : The short film is too short but the plots is very good. I really just want to see more to be honest, because it's too good to be that short. 😂 Hunter Livingston & the team did really good job capturing all the creepiness, unsettling feelings and THE SOUNDS is insane... it's almost like asmr which i love so much. I'm excited to see his future projects and hopefully brings back Kennedy ❤️✨️
Too short..😢
@@potatoisme6953 i know right? I've watched several times because it's so good but it's sad how short it is 😂
really enjoyed the sound design and directing in this, also how intentional everything felt right from the start. The jarring angles every character was filmed from compared to Kennerdy's wider more relaxed frames served the general eeriness well too. The overwhelming feeling that Noah entered a trap/maze was nicely portrayed too (peeping the uncomfortably misplaced EXIT sign tho idk if that was a coincidence lol). The dialogue and the pacing felt disturbing too. I like how both Noah and the people at the church had their seperate but obvious thirst/desire/ want expressed throughout the film. How Noah was in a constant back and forth battle of choosing between pursuing her desire for singing and recognition and listening to all the warning signs and sirens screaming at her to leave lol. Overall, really fascinating work, would love to see more of your productions and wishing the best for you guys and Kennedy
Congratulations to Kennedy for living her dream of becoming an actress! 🥰
So many good actors in this! The first lady noah meets her voice acting was amazing and then the audition lady in blue omg she sent chills down my spine!❤
The first conversation noah and dawn had *chefs kiss* i felt uneasy as if I’m in the same room as them also the camera pointing at dawn without any background music just the eerie wind blowing was unsettling AND BRILLIANT
as a film student and as someone who's been following kennedy for quite some years now, this is amazing. the way she became her character is unreal. but the way i could feel the temperature and the smells of that church was insane. the photography, the sound!! what an amazing work! i hope to see more from all of you soon. greetings from argentina :)
I found the plot kind of anticlimactic but maybe I’m just not getting it. However, the actors and cinematography was great!
I don't really understand either.... if there was a more clear ending maybe? its a short so i feel like it needed a little more?
You can feel the tension throughout the whole movie, it is insanely good! Definitely watching it again
12:18 I love how the framing switches from more negative space to the right (noah) to more negative space to the left (other characters), making it appear claustrophobic and eerie. also the lightning on noah is much softer; whereas on the girl it casts harsh shadows.
Kennedy is an amazing actress and this gives me old 2000s horror vibes kinda like haunting of molly Hartley I’m obsessed!
Kennedy was great! But I actually don't grasp the idea of this shortfilm...What was this even about and what will happen to kennedy's character? Kennedy's acting improved but I feel like it wasn't natural in some parts, which is obvious bc it's her starting out. I would LOVE to see some other shortfilm with her

I think the main story beat here is realising the mini twist at the end where we see that the camera they have is the same aspect ratio and video quality as the brief gory flashes of someone's vocal chords being removed which tells us that it's not just visions or metaphorical imagery, but that it's real video of someone recorded on a camera that belongs to the church. Presumably Noah's vocal chords.
same, I still feel like she's trying too hard
I knew about this film from kennedy and obviously surprised by her improvement in acting skills. She was really good playing this role. The production was great but for the story i didn’t quite catch what i’ve just watched, like what’s the point of the film except the creepy and unease feelings from the people in the church ?
Same I didn’t really understand what it was trying to convey and I would’ve wanted to see what exactly the church choir was hiding

oooo this is a great response/insight! thanks for sharing I can see that now too @@pseudonymousbeing987
omg i didnt catch that all!! great eye! @@pseudonymousbeing987
Kennedy I'm so proud of you! This short film is everything I love in film, the lighting and color choices are phenomenal
I loved this. Particularly the performances of Noa and Kirsty. I wish it was a whole film. Great job everyone!
In the last scene where the camera is held by the lady in the blue shirt, you can see that Noah realizes that what she previously felt was somewhat eerie is now a virtually inescapable threat. The look on her face really got me.
So proud of you Kennedy!!💜
Wow, I honestly wish this was a full blown movie. The acting was incredible and I was so unnerved through the whole thing that I couldn’t look away. Love this!!!
Kennedy's acting really did improve compared to her acting in Intern in Chief. Her micro expressions were nice to see and feels more natural. As for the film itself, maybe because it is a short film but the plot is ambiguous. I'm guessing the goal is to leave it to the viewer's interpretation but it definitely needs more scenes that will give us an idea. It would add more sense if there were more shots that were focusing on her neck while the woman is staring weirdly at it and then randomly showing shots of her being covered in blood or a close up shot of her eyes crying but looking empty along with the scenes of flesh being cut. But still, the film was able to make the viewer uncomfortable so that's still good.
It's nice to see her acting and hopefully this provides her a stepping stone to getting more roles. Congrats to the whole team.
This short film looks expensive. The sound, sinematography and acting..!!! Everything is spot on
So proud of Kennedy and the whole team! This is amazing guys!!
THIS IS SO GOOD OMG I CANT WAIT FOR MORE KENNEDY’S FUTURE WORK!! also great job for all the people involved as well, i wish this was a two hour long movie 😭
IM SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU KENNY. I’VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF YOUR TH-cam CHANNEL AND I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ACTING SO THIS IS AMAZING
i am so proud of kennedy, she did amazing in this. i hope we see more work from her in the future, she has so much potential!!
I’m sooo super proud of Kennedy she did so amazing in this I can’t see what they do next 💖🥰🌷✨
LOVE the reveal of the camera aspect ratio and quality at the end. What a fun way to have a mini twist that thats what we saw the whole time. Great stuff
OMG this short is so much better than many suspense films I've seen, congratulations, I loved it!! and Kennedy, I've been following you for years and I'm very proud of you, you really are a spectacular actress! I can't wait to see you in other films and see you fulfilling your dream
Kennedy you were amazing its so great to see how much you improved over the years.
This is amazing!!! I would love to see this as a whole show where we could learn more about every little detail and see how it would end. Kennedy's acting was perfect we need to see more of her in movies!! The whole movie was made in such an interesting and eerie way I love it
Kennedy is so amazing! She needs to be in a movie!
excited to watch Kennedy rock this
the style of filming is so cool! plus the two older women were great actors. Kennedy also has improved so much! bravo to you
love the cinematography and camerawork This is beautiful well done everyone😊
So good!!!! can’t wait for pt 2 (hopefully) 👏🏾👏🏾
So proud of you Kennedy!!!!❤
I know there are so many other actors in this short film, but Kennedy was amazing. She became the character. It's amazing seeing her like this, when tomorrow, I'll be watching her hilariously rating foods with Brandon & Claudia. Proud of Kennedy! 🙏💕 Amazing work, amazing film.
I loved your acting Kennedy, it was so natural and authentic. Hope to see you embodying many other characters
This is amazing Kennedy I hope this takes you to places !!
Kennedy so proud of you! Btw this is amazing short film! 🙏🏻
I loved this short film, i loved the creepy eerie vibe it was giving off. Also Kennedy ate with her acting skills☝🏼
So proud of you Kennedy ❤️
You are a professional! You go girl you killed this!! ❤️❤️
This needed a part 2 badly 😭😭🥹
love the cinematography in this, and so proud of Kennedy!!
This is so beautiful and well-made!!! I loved Kennedy in it!
Hey Kennedy I hope you keep pursuing your dreams. You got this.
This makes me so happy. It's really well done. Can't admire Kennedy and her acting skills enough! :D
Wow Kennedy was amazing! Can’t wait to see what she does in the future
I cant even associate Noah with Kennedy. She did so well with this character.
sooo proud of you, Kennedy!!
the acting and directing were great, however I don't get it. I like the eerie feel of it but I wish we saw more of the youth group and how Noah isn't able to get away from them which would add to the anxiety of the situation. I felt like she could've left at any moment plus they didn't seem like much of a threat just a bit weird.
yep, everyone is praising the acting and analyzing every angle, but seems like most missed the script is shit.
Kennedy i’m so proud of you!!
Well this was.. quite the film, everyone was brilliant. I was actually sort of thrown off that it ended so quickly. I forgot that it was a short film, haha! Kennedy and all the other actors were so great, y'all really sold the story. If this somehow ever turned into a full length feature film I'd definitely buy tickets to see it!
I was just gonna say this is such a good concept for a full lenght movie I hope someday it becomes one
Kenney is amazing ❤ I hope she sees how we all loved it!!!
aah this is really well done. the tension created by the angles and pacing was so good!
This is so beautiful! Congratulations to the team!
hunter!! you have done it again this is truly amazing !! i'm so excited for what you'll do next
This was awesome. Great job everyone especially Kennedy!
this was insane. ive come across this film because of kennedy, but i really felt the thrill and tension on the ending i had to look away! awesome work!
in her scream queen era 👑
Oh I loved this!!! I wish it would make to a full film, I was so invested in the characters and the story! It gave me Suspiria vibes, which I absolutely adore so good job!!!
I’m so proud of Kennedy 🥹❤️
Kennedy did amazing as well as the other actors, I know it’s a short film but I wanted more
So good! Kennedy killed it
truly amazing ! the tension is so well done BRAVO
our actress kennedy♡ you will become a STAR!
I really liked the cinematrography, editing and few intentional camera shots! And of course the acting. I just wish the story was elaborated a few minutes more, but other than that pretty good!
I agree 100%. I dont really get the story.
yess same i liked it but i'm kinda confused
@@mina8495same here
Yeah me too I’m not really sure why it’s so eerie like what’s wrong with the church
I don't want to offend anyone, people are already calling this blasphemous, lol, so I won't go into detail, but I'll give a little bit of insight. This film really reminded me of how I grew up, in a very religious household, and the indoctrination I went through. I'm not saying all religious people are like this, but my family happened to be, so this is based off my experience! Anyway, I think what this short film is trying to portray is how Evangelists go a little overboard and put pressure on people to follow their faith. Noah (Kennedy) clearly isn't religious, and was visibly uncomfortable the whole time, but her passion for singing made her stick around longer than she probably wanted. Maybe she was trying to leverage being a soloist to kickstart her music career, but realized how deep this church really goes with their faith. Especially when she tried to leave, and was essentially forced into staying, basically pressuring her to give into Christ. If you've seen Midsommar, it's very similar to this, super cult-like. Again, not saying every religious person is like this, but a lot do happen to be. I don't know, this is just my theory, but this whole film was unsettling.
I can see why some people wouldn't get it, especially if they themselves are faithful, because unless you're on the outside looking in, you don't really know how cultish it truly is. There's being religious, and then being an Evangelist, this is the latter. I'm not saying it's wrong, but it definitely teeters on very bizarre and uncomfortable.
So proud of you Kennedy this was amazing
Kennedy´s acting have improved so much. She´s perfect in this !!
Love you Kennedy so proud of you 👏
this directing is great it really adds to the chilling tone of the film! girl i’m scared💀😭😭
so many talented actors in this, well done
I love the eerie atmosphere you feel the entire time
Kennedy ate this up I’m so proud, from seeing her make a crepe cake back in like 2018 to this! Incredible
Ooo can’t wait!! 🩷🩷🩷
Kennedy was good here but her acting feels a bit animated it doesn't float naturally
Kennedy I have chills¡¡¡¡ amazing. Send you love from Colombia¡
So proud of my girl 😩❤️
WOW! what a great film!!!
that line delivery “fit in” is soooo megan fox coded
Close behind Kennedy as the standout has gotta be the score and the cinematography. Well done 👏🏼
Can't wait for part 2...❤
Can't wait
Omg as soon as I saw Kennedy I clicked immediately and let me say she DID NOT disappoint
this is so good! i wish it was a series
she has improved SO MUCH i am SO AMAZED AND PROUD
Holy shit Kennedy!!!!! You can act very well, so nice seeing this ❤ can't wait to see more
Waiting with the utmost impatience
Great acting, and directing. Can tell you really worked with them👌
so invested in this! love to see Kennedy
The way Kennedy can convey so much emotion by doing so little. The body movements, the hesitance, she is brilliant. Hollywood is not ready for Kennedy Claire Walsh
shaking with anticipation
Kennedy is just awesome
I’m so excited to watch this, I have been enthusiastically awaiting this moment for so long ofmshskhf
So excited to watch this it looks amazing
