This movie is so great and powerful that It glorifies self-worth of the pure unclaiming individual. It was so inspirational to watch. I'm writing a novel these days n it was so inspirational to me. Can't wait to see ur next movie.

Really enjoyed watching this! Its a great little short film that left my questioning many things at the end especially what happened to the girl.

it has an wow-effect... i'm just stunned... very pleasant, very soft yet simple and clear there you're... amazing

Beautiful short film like black coffee💕

I found it a great short movie ........ well done, nice cast ...loved it

Not for me but I'm surprised the film caught my attention this long, there must be something special about it!

this is a lovely piece of work and I thoroughly enjoyed watching your short film x

Love the films at Short Film corner

Wasn't sold at first, but glad I stuck with it. Great job!!

loved it..

Really, really liked your film so please don't see my next comments in a bad light. The visual aspect in my mind was great, really done well. I had a tough time with the narration though. In my mind I kept hearing the female voice as more a Cameron Diaz or Julia Roberts sounding voice and the male narration - as weird as this might seem - as a Christopher Walken sound. The pace of the narration felt just a little rushed but if it could have been drawn out at a just a hair slower pace I think it would have been even more enjoyable. Also, I realized at the end the reason why I really liked the script. It was because it was very much like a poem was being read. All in all thumbs up and kudos to you on the film. 🙂

Nice film well done I really enjoyed watching it .

What a great piece of artistic genius..truly enjoyed this..to all involved fantastic work..inspirational....thank you

I loved it! :D

her perceptions of everyone else in the shop are interesting.

Simple and powerful, Good job Shayna!

A unique observation by the girl about everything and everyone even though she observes the thoughts that are coming her way. Really impressive and reflecting deep meaning about the world.

Love it! Amazing video! Can't wait to see what else you guys come out with.

great !!!

I really liked your video.

I see 2 possible stories in this short. 1) the observer was being observed! 2) the persona is a story in making by the narrator

That's impressive.

I've been using this in my English classes but would love to use the script. Can someone please get me a copy? I love the monologues! :)

it was good

Great short film. I really liked the focus pulling on many of your scenes. I have a question about the female actor. Did she really exist? Because nobody ever really acknowledged her and then she disappeared at the end. I really like how her bland life compared to the black coffee.

Congratulations, this is not personal but my mind in this moment yet is decoding your short, very very abstract, but i like u innovation, i like u strength and u faith in this short greeetings from Mexico.

Good One ❤️👍

This is such a good short film! Wow, so compelling and interesting normally most short films don't catch my attention but this one did! Great work!

Its just a poem with a few artsy shots

nice poem, but there is something that could make this better (my opinion(not an expert)). Black coffee, nice, the girl isn't necessarily, the popular type. Make the scenes and feel of the movie darker, all the scenes are so bright which throw me off the tone of the music and what the narrator is saying. I know it wasn't shot at night, but that doesn't mean it can't be dark and lonely. After all dark coffee throws more ideas into my head than a pretty girl admiring her surroundings (admiring, not really). I'm not a pessimist but try to be darker and mysterious and it will add more depth to the whole story.

She has accepted her loneliness gracefully after observing others and comparing her situation with them..n that’s proved wen she said ...hope he can feel d warmth of spilled coffee on his shirt...! Nice observation on loneliness...constructive or destructive...choice z urs...😊👍

Does anyone know what the song in the background is? (don't say sandstorm)

This is really beautiful. I loved it :D Where was it shot?

Hey Shayna, this got into Cannes? Because I like this but it doesn't have the look of a film with the kind of budget that would be at the biggest film festival in the world. Obviously I'm not talking 'Hollywood Tentpole budget' but this looks super, super, SUPER low budget.

I didn't really understand it??

Lovely story. Great clarity. What a kind of camera to shoot this movie?

congrats, what did you shoot this with?

so did she die?

The actress in this, Nathalie Palka is so naturally beautiful. I wonder what she looks like now, 7 years later. Where was this filmed??? And am I correct, this is a film about loneliness & suicide??? Because from the way it ended, I feel like you said she killed herself. PLEASE REPLY.

this got into cannes?

peter sansom swag

Did she died ?

She doesn't know true solitude but only loneliness, living as she says "in between the grey that separates the clouds." If there's value in this ritualized monotony it is a cry for a CENTER: God. Just saying . . . .

Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins! Come to HIM🙂🙂🙂🙂

So... she took her own life?

I was going to comment your life is so boring you cannot help but try and guess everybody else's. I was going to say get out! Get away from that miserable cold!! But alas it was too late...

This went to Cannes? I couldn't even finish watching this pretentious bullshit.

Narration ping

this is the worst short I've ever seen. It's like every possible cliche you could fit into a film. Such a struggle to watch. I'd never usually say this about another filmmaker's work but this is just tragic.

ugh.

male narrative voice is ALL WRONG.

this is bad. very very bad.

You need to speak more clearly!
