This is perhaps the most GENUINE, the most REAL and well acted vignette that I have EVER had the pleasure to see coming out of Trinidad. The acting was superb, the characters were true to form and the story line was captured as if real life were unfolding in real time as it actually transpired and unfolded right before our very eyes. Well done and a hearty congratulations and thank you to ALL involved!

I am amazed and astounded by how tremendously well done this short is. I am a huge fan of film, and everything from the scripting to the acting felt so natural and realistic (which is really hard to do when "talkin trini"). The story was engaging and the pacing was perfect. I never felt once to take it off or pause and watch it later. It was a spectacular effort and I have it plastered all over my social media channels. And my friends are saying the same. Very, very well done, I hope to see more of this (or others like it on the same level) in the future. Best short ever period!

This short film is truly a testament to the endless talent and how easily we could take our culture and produce an amazing and captivating story. I'm not in anyway involved in film in Trinidad but this certainly inspires views to become apart of it. I could only imagine the hard work that went into this project.From the first scene this short film had me wanting more. I'm only 15 and I own a nikon D3200 and seeing this just inspires me to do something... go to a filmography class or something to gain knowledge about this art form. But as i said before congrats on this short film... hope there's more where that came from!!

What a lovely film. It demonstrates the strength of family connectedness and goes deep inside the sensibilities of this young man's unhappy mind. His deep duty to his mother and protective instinct towards her; demonstrated in pushing his father away from touching his mother. The actors ,writer , producer/ director of this film should be highly commended .

But who knows? i see the negative impact it has had on my family. Oh yeah, great film. It is truly universal and captures the pain of oppressed peoples.

For me this is the definition of entertaining and engaging, and extremely relatable. It felt smooth, natural and not forced. I thoroughly enjoyed this because it didn't feel like a story of bacchanal for the sake of ratings, like majority of the shows today. I truly desire, hope and pray that we have more of these from our country and cultures. I watched it several times and forwarded it to others. More more more please. YES.

Enjoyed this short story immensely, it made me reflect on growing up in T&T. The story of a loved one migrating abroad is so common, yet we rarely get to stop and think about how it affects us and the loved ones we leave behind, whether positive or negative. When you get thrown into the mix, you do your best to adapt to your new home. It is a sacrifice to leave your culture and family to “live a better life”.
