I usually hate short films. They almost always feel too long, ironically, or there's just no story being told. This film however left me wanting more. I wanted to know more about Rachel and see more of Anna Lore's amazing acting. I wanted to hear more sharp dialogue, I wanted more superb directing and production design.

This is the kind of short film that not only makes you happy to be alive and experience someone else's well-crafted imagination come to life but also as a filmmaker to get inspired to make more films.

Bravo to everyone involved. Stellar work. Can't wait to see more.

This short film won a well deserved audience choice award at the Plymouth Rebel Film Festival 2019, and was a delight. Focusing in on a modern domestic setting at the start, the camera then transports us seamlessly into a dream world, a la Mary Poppins. But it's done with a fun dig at pill-popping culture, which induced belly laughs from the audience in Plymouth. Rachel, our protagonist, is looking for a peaceful place which will rid her of her insecurities. However, after using chemistry to arrive at her dream world, what she later discovers is only herself. And that's the best thing she could have found.

I expect more excellent work to come from this budding director/screenwriter/producer. I would have rated this 10/10, were it not for some unnecessary crudity in the opening sequence that neither drove the narrative, nor seemed otherwise consistent with the tone of this joyous piece.
