Ya got me. First I thought “Oh boy, here’s an artsy film school piece”. Then I was pleasantly surprised it was much sillier than that. I’m a big lover of silly and it did a good job of depicting the boredom we’ve all gone through during this pandemic, especially how it was early on.

This was pretty adorable and very well made. It’s awfully difficult to find the right pacing in very short films. Especially when you only have a week to create them. Sometimes the concept is too big for the time allotted. Other times the filmmaker doesn’t know when to cut the fat in an attempt to pad a simple idea. This is all meat and finds the right balance appropriate to its message. Excellent work!

Wow! Having a week to not only shoot and edit a film but produce a song too and make it all work? On top of that it’s funny and topical. This captured what a lot of us have gone through during the pandemic. Very clever and poses a situation I’ve often wondered about… what is it like to be in a new relationship during quarantine? Also always good to see SFP alumni ;)

Love the idea of a farmers market being so crucial  to people’s routine that it continues over zoom. It’s also great to see  this film echo the conventions of a zoom or video call. It is relevant  and funny. I’m curious how much of this was improvised and how much was  scripted. It feels like an awesome balance of both.

Mother/Daughter dynamic felt real and relatable. I’m a big fan of  projects that bring the digital into their making and mirror how  communication feels and operates these days. The voice over work was  also great. Lastly, calling Rachel Maddow “That lesbian you like”  cracked me up!

So. Real. I have paid extra attention to my sounds and inner dialogues  with myself that have become external during quarantine. I really  relate to this film.

I am here for social commentary and satire of influencers and vloggers  as well as people who have hoax theories about the virus although  science and events have proven otherwise. The sound effects were also  spot on and added to the realness of the world and the comedy.

 Kudos on making the dad and son so different acting wise. The dad was so  cheery and his “okay” interjections were funny. The son’s teen angst  and eye rolls were priceless. The countdown to dinner was also a great  recall. This was such commentary on the pressure we’ve all felt to get  our lives together each day of quarantine.

 Quarantine really has felt like an identity crisis and an opportunity to  find yourself, so this hyperbole felt very real and hit close to home. I  also liked how this film felt more mysterious and darker and its  connection to quarantine was a little less literal and more symbolic.
