@@Strongbad251 The zombie fight sequence was definitely the most challenging sequence because it was our biggest fight with the most actors and we were filming in the smallest location. We definitely had to get creative with choreography and camera angles to help that scene feel immersive and fun!

Don't ever mess with a girl who wants to heal! Great visualization of the struggle against trauma! I *really* love the concept as well as the execution. Thank you for this! (I needed to see this today) Personal story time: My niece and her bf were hit by a drunk in a pickup truck. She was the only survivor but we thought she was done. She was so badly hurt, it was touch and go. But she was *strong* and she fought. She had so many broken bones, so many injuries...Long story short - she recovered...and went on to become a RN, marry and have *five* beautiful kids. She became a wonderful mother. And she remains my hero, because *nobody* ever fought harder than she did/does. (Love ya Julie!)

The horror that brought tears to my eyes. ❤❤❤ I guess the “younger brother” is in fact the “older” who died young. He came back to guide his little sister to fight for life. Such an amazing short. So emotional, so loving and so hopeful! Brilliant actors too.🎉🎉
@marylouclemente1079 Жыл бұрын
Kelsey, this was an awesome short. I really felt her conflict of just wanting to give up, stop fighting and join her younger brother. Those graphic scenes showing X-rays of the impact and the very clear sounds of her bones crunching were intense, but then that one little piece of her mind reminded her to continue being the bad ass fighter she always was. Great acting by everyone. Had me tearing up.

Whew. This turned out to be quite profound. It is a beautiful interpretation of fighting for your life. I love the white light that is common to so many near death experiences. Seeing loved ones that precede you was so touching. The fight sequences were so well choreographed. It was very impressive. The black self ninja was my favorite The editing of the wreck aftermath throughout was also well done. Kelsey Bollig deserves major kudos as I imagine this was quite an emotional roller coaster. The lead woman and the young brother were fantastic too. The real footage at the end took my breath away as we are reminded that sometimes the fight continues. Very inspirational and as a Mental Health Counselor I absolutely love the spirit of this gorgeous work. Thank You. Peace.

Cheers to ALTER for showcasing this film. Jeers for, as usual, minimizing and speeding through the mid credit scenes. Thankfully, I got to fully appreciate the inspiring images at regular speed in full screen on Short of the Week. Is it that important to save 2 1/2 minutes that you’d rather rob us of the full appreciation of the work that goes into the art?✌️

Being now-older & as a lifelong avid Alan Watts fan (Life, Death, Wisdom of Insecurity), his quote then already @1:00 (exactly, I noticed the timing), can tell this will be an award winner already. Now to regroup and watch the rest of the movie! After drying my eyes.....so glad you're ok. This hit personally hard, at 15 having lost an 11 yo sister then 3 yrs later I decided to fight my own fight...and it's been worth it as well. Hope you'll make more movies, this was exceptional!!
