Kennedy's acting improved so much. She really embodied the character so much. I was mad of how short this film is but it's SHORT film after all. Someone give Kennedy more acting career EDITTED : The short film is too short but the plots is very good. I really just want to see more to be honest, because it's too good to be that short. 😂 Hunter Livingston & the team did really good job capturing all the creepiness, unsettling feelings and THE SOUNDS is insane... it's almost like asmr which i love so much. I'm excited to see his future projects and hopefully brings back Kennedy ❤️✨️

really enjoyed the sound design and directing in this, also how intentional everything felt right from the start. The jarring angles every character was filmed from compared to Kennerdy's wider more relaxed frames served the general eeriness well too. The overwhelming feeling that Noah entered a trap/maze was nicely portrayed too (peeping the uncomfortably misplaced EXIT sign tho idk if that was a coincidence lol). The dialogue and the pacing felt disturbing too. I like how both Noah and the people at the church had their seperate but obvious thirst/desire/ want expressed throughout the film. How Noah was in a constant back and forth battle of choosing between pursuing her desire for singing and recognition and listening to all the warning signs and sirens screaming at her to leave lol. Overall, really fascinating work, would love to see more of your productions and wishing the best for you guys and Kennedy

this comment by @pseudonymousbeing987 I think the main story beat here is realising the mini twist at the end where we see that the camera they have is the same aspect ratio and video quality as the brief gory flashes of someone's vocal chords being removed which tells us that it's not just visions or metaphorical imagery, but that it's real video of someone recorded on a camera that belongs to the church. Presumably Noah's vocal chords.

Kennedy's acting really did improve compared to her acting in Intern in Chief. Her micro expressions were nice to see and feels more natural. As for the film itself, maybe because it is a short film but the plot is ambiguous. I'm guessing the goal is to leave it to the viewer's interpretation but it definitely needs more scenes that will give us an idea. It would add more sense if there were more shots that were focusing on her neck while the woman is staring weirdly at it and then randomly showing shots of her being covered in blood or a close up shot of her eyes crying but looking empty along with the scenes of flesh being cut. But still, the film was able to make the viewer uncomfortable so that's still good. It's nice to see her acting and hopefully this provides her a stepping stone to getting more roles. Congrats to the whole team.

@hnfit 9 ай бұрын
the way I interpreted this film is that the church choir is filled with people who take their devotion to God to a whole other level: every member of the church choir solely displays their duty to God by living for him through their singing (every time they sing, they are giving parts of themselves to god and in turn, become weaker) but Noah's desire to do what she loves without it being merely for her love for God, confuses and disturbs the other members of the church. The title "From the flesh" relates to the idea that the members of the choir have given their flesh and identity to God but Noah (who has her scorpio sign and own identity) scares and intimidates them. by wanting Noah as part of their group, they want to extend the flesh of God which becomes "too much" for members such as the one Noah finds crying in the bathroom.
@akinitusken8598 8 ай бұрын
It seems as though there are two extremes in this movie; one is this weird choir that is almost obsessed with "God" (not the right one), they don't make up a real Church and they're certainly not filled with the Holy Spirit rather by a demon. And on the other end, there's Noah who sort of believes in God but doesn't really care or have a relationship with Him and is also sort of tied to demons (through zodiac). So yeah, no real Church in here. Either was the purpose of the filmmaker to just show how both are wrong or he/she purposely tried to depict Church as weird and wrong... I unfortunately kinda have a feeling that it's the latter considering the culture that this comes from but... oh well, God will prevail anyways and those who refuse will regret...

And if religions were nothing more than absurd, I don't think they would stick around for so long and have more than 4 billion people live by them today.

I felt like she could've left at any moment plus they didn't seem like much of a threat just a bit weird.

@twinkincarnate 9 ай бұрын
I don't want to offend anyone, people are already calling this blasphemous, lol, so I won't go into detail, but I'll give a little bit of insight. This film really reminded me of how I grew up, in a very religious household, and the indoctrination I went through. I'm not saying all religious people are like this, but my family happened to be, so this is based off my experience! Anyway, I think what this short film is trying to portray is how Evangelists go a little overboard and put pressure on people to follow their faith. Noah (Kennedy) clearly isn't religious, and was visibly uncomfortable the whole time, but her passion for singing made her stick around longer than she probably wanted. Maybe she was trying to leverage being a soloist to kickstart her music career, but realized how deep this church really goes with their faith. Especially when she tried to leave, and was essentially forced into staying, basically pressuring her to give into Christ. If you've seen Midsommar, it's very similar to this, super cult-like. Again, not saying every religious person is like this, but a lot do happen to be. I don't know, this is just my theory, but this whole film was unsettling. I can see why some people wouldn't get it, especially if they themselves are faithful, because unless you're on the outside looking in, you don't really know how cultish it truly is. There's being religious, and then being an Evangelist, this is the latter. I'm not saying it's wrong, but it definitely teeters on very bizarre and uncomfortable.

Kennedy’s acting honestly seemed off and inconsistent. Her characters behavior didn’t make sense and her personality seemed to be changing over the course of the film in an unnatural way. Idk anything I say will be seen as hating or trolling but that’s my honest opinion. Kristy on the other hand was impeccable, her acting was great and made the production feel more expensive than it probably was.
