A faithful representation of a sweet age that has long passed. Alexandra Queen as Sarlo is delightful, restless and in the spirit of the role. She framed by two amazing actors and the whole result is aesthetically perfect.

There is something about the short film Little Green Street that feels less homage to a legend and more a modern reworking of a lost script. Charlie being respected for his script writing, gags and creative capacity that could and frequently did, create more stories than was possible to film in the time he had, it does make you wonder about the possibility of this as a viewer, which is a hallmark of the films team who have created something that could easily be original to the man himself and deserves kudos on this level.

The silent era to some degree in its early days could and is often referred to as being the Chaplin era. With companies emulating and creating characters with both male and female actors playing the part heavily inspired by the Iconic Little tramp. and a little close scrutiny we can see this in the film, although it is artfully played to a point where you don't notice it overtly.

Little Green Street has a similar vibe of this emulation but the hallmarks and clarity of the character is captured sympathetically and does (in my own case) leave me wondering was this a fresh film paying tribute to a legend or perhaps a lost Chaplin......The characters have all the same traits and signs that become synonymous with the Great Chaplin himself from the Keystone(esque) cop to the wilting woman who ensnares Charlie with her demur feminine whiles.

Created by Alexandra Queen is an actress/filmmaker based in London, UK. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Drama/Theatre Studies from the University of Huddersfield, England. Alexandra works as an actress/filmmaker for her own film production company, founded in 2015 when she decided to make her debut short film, ''DID''. She also works as a part-time assistant at a modern art gallery. She is currently developing the sequel to ''Little Green Street'', as well as adapting the short story ''Captain Bones'' by Eric Maple, based on folklore stories and urban legends. She is inspired by auteurs who have established their own vision and personal style in cinema history, such as Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock. Alexandra's great ambition is to establish her own distinctive style in film making, as well as in acting, that will inspire and influence other women filmmakers and actresses around the world.

Little Green Street is an interesting short that has the nostalgia angle well covered and gives a nod to a creative genius of yesteryear whilst still having a modern feel with the digital shoot, cleverly structured the overall feel of the film is pleasant and heartwarming a true tribute to the man behind the tramp and worthy of watching for the smile it will create in its simplicity.

Well directed short story full of action and funny moments! Loved the amount of details and professionalism and the way it's captured! I highly recommend it!

I am absolutely thrilled and excited to see this short video which reflects the works of Charles Spencer Chaplin. It is a nice compliment and a fitting tribute to see his work influencing creative minds alike till this day in the theatre industry. Whereas stand up comedy is an apparition of entertainment; I believe silent movies brings out those emotions from the audience without having anything said.

I thought the character's demeanour (The Tramp portrayed by Alexandra Queen) echoed the classic rags-to-riches story, but, eventually, after finding 'treasure' the tramp makes way for the meteoric rise to mischievousness ...again. While the character's outfit gave it an edge, the facial emotions and actions depicted by Alexandra are enough to make you believe the character's wrong-doing is innocently based on their curiosity.

Although each scene is amusing and satisfying to watch, we observe that each segment of the film is merged in with auditorily pleasing soft-to-medium piano playing. The music is almost like a language communicating with the audience to draw out and bring forth those emotions. The Piano is intertwined with the finely tuned comic performance delivered by the actor. Even though it sounds harmonious and pleasing it does leave you with a feeling of intense longing for more with what you are already dosed with, but nevertheless it does deliver the correct amount of musical substance we need.

The character was immensely fun to watch especially the mood of the character is portrayed through an artistic temperament which Alexandra Queen reflects very well. Different applications of moodiness is applied at the correct times, from sad, then angry the next, then joyous, then irritable and so on and so forth. The quality and nature of the character makes you want more and more, in particular, when struggling to cope with the pressures of the uniformed officer and despite being warned, the character stages multiple comebacks in an irresponsibly playful naughty behaviour.

As the film comes to a closing, the character mischievously reassures the audience they will return to unfold the next event as the 'Tramp' and the 'Maid' run off together into the distance and I certainly look forward to watching this character's next mischievous development.
