sad..tragic..romantic...with depth
dondon80200323 October 2005
first off, congratulations on your first short film. Great first attempt and a performance by you that is above average for a first director.

this is such a universal theme you chose to make a film about..with the uniqueness of choosing a male's perspective. i felt bad for the character Hayden, he was too in love with a woman that he felt that its her or no one else. you incorporated in your film drama, music, romance, tragedy which is a lot to incorporate in one film and especially a short. i admire your great taste in classical music, and middle eastern instruments that you chose to use and made it ONE with the story. i can see the actors were hard to work with, and probably was against your will since you had such a bigger story to tell for these 2 to portray. the best thing i liked was the DIRECTING. It showed passion behind a story wanting to be told, a story close to your heart, a story that you most of all relate to. the lighting and cinematography were superb, great job on the effect of isolation and loneliness.

i hope to see more of your work in the future.

well done short film..

from viewing this film, i was impressed with your determination to express the subject matter of lost love. The story is too big for the film, but you managed to maintain the main purposes in a short 8 minutes. excellent decision you took to make your character seem naive, and weak and just endlessly stare at this projected film over and over. Its a good way for audience to sympathize with a man who couldn't control his feelings towards another person.

Although the acting fell through, i couldn't believe when i read that this was a 30p shot film, it looks so much better than a regular mini dv shot film. The lighting and framing composition was great, and excellent choice of music. Hassan, congratulations on screening the film in Hollywood, and good luck with future projects.

a small film with big ideas...

Very good first effort Mr. Said

This movie condenses a large story, showing very poignant moments in the character's lives. It also presents a common theme that all people can relate to. The telling in itself has a dramatic flair. The music is fitting. The acting I didn't enjoy so much. It seemed amateur. However when watching this movie one must understand the limits of the production. Camera and editing were satisfactory. Where this film succeeded however, was working well within those limits. As it seems story prevails when other aspects are at least adequate.

Well done. Hope to see future work from this director.
