The film forces you to face the reality that madness is a challenging concept with exceptional editing and production. The constant changing perspectives keeps the viewer engaged. Is the woman hallucinating or battling demons? Is there a cure available from science? How far can she be stretched to the boundaries of sanity before she realizes the source of her torment and battle between reality and insanity.

The film definitely pushes the viewer to the edge of the seat. The question is whether you are strong enough to face the question or if you would prefer to fall back into a world of tea and crumpets.

It was a pleasure to see this film recognized and shown at the Naperville Film Independent Festival 2016.

The Days of Hamlet has an intriguing blend of the already impressive story about a rushed stage production with the juxtaposition of a personal back story of actor and his father with well-crafted technical excellence. The inclusion of well-established actors raised the interest in the stage production storyline. What separated this film from traditional documentaries is Hyde-White's inner journey on parental relations and his self-discovery. The intertwining of the two stories were provided in engaging and solid pace, accomplished by exceptional editing and smooth nice transitions. The technical excellence found in the cinematography of the stage sequences was amazing. Even if you are not a fan of the theater, this is a film worth viewing for the personal story alone. This film was a finalist in the 2012 Naperville Film Festival.
