 “I loved this short! Like a fresh glass of milk, it was a refreshing, much-needed dose of positivity. The young actress did an incredible job of making you feel the inevitably hard decision of giving up her candy for a stranger and I enjoyed the rest of the cast as well. The camera work was well done, I especially enjoyed the subtle shots like the panning across the counters in the store and the views of the town outside. The immediate smile that this short produced was worth every second of viewing and the underlying lesson of being willing to sacrifice what you want for what someone else needs was something we can all learn from. Great job!” Trice High – Producer

 “The production value, score, sound design, production design, graphics, acting – I could go on. I absolutely love this. It almost gives me the same vibes as Pixar’s UP. The only bad thing I have to say about this? I really want more! This is such a good 5 minute short, but these two characters are very interesting, and I as a viewer are intrigued to view more of their lives, and that is very positive! I will definitely watch this again.” Maria Robstad Nielsen – Producer
