Beautifully shot, wonderful acting

[@jeannecastellano7181]

Very sad, but there is an understanding that the ancient cliché, that those we love and who have passed away, are always still with us.

[@toycamera6112]

WOW! As a filmmaker, I think your direction is absolutely gorgeous and I LOVE the way you use high FPS to augment the movements of the actors! Dropping you a like and sub!

[@soliloquy_films]

Thank you! We felt the FPS helped in so many ways to evoke the atmosphere, dread, and emotion we were looking for.
