Mike Newell - Bishop Stortford
I'm in the middle camp on this one. Great idea and great attempt. Didn't quite convince me, but people should be aware of the budgets all these guys in this section probably had to work with. It's so easy to be critical.I think the makers have great potential.

Some people just need to be told...this film was awful. What happened to 'story'?

That's some kind of moon they've got in Japan...You'd have to put on the factor 10 at night.

Can't understand why people are being so critical! Its a student film based in ancient Japan. A great achievement! Keep going!

I heard a lot about this film but it fails in its storytelling. Some bits work but most don't. Looks great but that aint everything as this short proves

I feel this film is extremely tedious and un-original. The words "crouching tiger" and "hidden dragon" spring to mind.

An insult to people of Japan. Interesting a student being a "Director of Photography"!

I enjoyed this very much. I'm hoping to end up at BAI next year, where my brother Tom is, so fingers crossed!
