He died while i was editing this. It was very sudden.

the worst part is the void and emptiness his absence created.

Loved it ! Interesting view of those stressful events. Love the fast cuts to push an anxious feel. The poor cat though, that was heartbreaking

This was amazing. My family left the Middle East before I was born, and seeing people my age, in the Middle East, dealing with all this stuff is very eye opening for me. Thank you for sharing, and my heart damn broke for you and Pespes.

very bad editing..to make something fast paced and watchable requires skill and knowledge, not just plastering scenes in rapid succession

Finally a bad review. Thank you for your honesty!

I understand that it reaches a point where the editing is just extremely fast, and that's the whole point. If you are able to focus on everything you might see how all the cuts connects but i understand that some people can't do that.

If everyone liked my work then i must be doing something wrong.

and thank you for watching.

youre taking criticism like a pro and kudos for that, with that attitude im sure youll learn a lot..my critique was based on a decade of work in various media so it was not from a viewers perspective..theres a lots of interesting science in fast editing techniques worth learning and i hope you`ll get there

I saw it as more of a teaser. If he was aiming at teaser, I’m hooked enough to sit my ass down for two hours and watch this story.

My friend gave me this exact review! I love it.

"I’m hooked enough to sit my ass down for two hours and watch this story." This is the kind of feeling i want to leave on people after watching this.

Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
