[@johnblairiv2085]

I’m so proud of my boy Andrew Bray! We were roommates when he was working on the music for this!!!

[@sctbsctb1620]

Brilliantly written, acted and filmed. I have NEVER in 64 years seen a more amazing film as this! What makes this film over the top, is the poignant message over a brevity of less than 30 minutes. You captured my attention in the first 30 seconds and you captured my heart within the first 5 minutes. I was a lifelong fan in less than 30 minutes. Please continue to bring this level of exquisite film content to the screen. Praying for your continued success.

[@vidtimes]

Wow, I really love the reflection of the chessboard in the glasses and how it ties into the story-this is an amazing short!

[@robbyehenderson8148]

This movie brought tears to my eyes. Parents don't really know what their kids go through with them and without them. When you with them and they neglect your feelings and show no love they become bitter to everyone. Especially the ones the Love them, they tend to push them away because of the unresolved anger, pain and emptiness. I'm Blessing this movie for an extended version.

[@jayn369]

This is beyond oscars ❤🫡
