Brilliant short film about traditional family values and the transitional change of technology and what really matters
jay-a-ottley12 April 2014
There are very bad short films out there and believe me as someone that watches many short films and organises events for the BFI with Future Film.

This little short was extremely watchable and definitely had that festival material, it had a great theme and a smooth script which flowed, despite having a cliché theme the execution is done really well, especially for a group of young creative up and coming film makers.

While a great script I felt it was left unresolved and would love to see what happens next as the short leaves the resolution open for a great continuation and possibilities for a sequel which I would definitely be interested in watching if it's as good as this.

Highly recommended to watching for all film makers alike.

Great film about the day in the life of a typical family

This a great, and very relevant film. It highlights the importance of family, whilst touching on particular issues such as the varying perspectives held between the different generations within a household.

When watching this I found myself laughing at many areas, as it was just like watching myself and the way I interact with my own family. I think these guys did a great job with this film as it manages to capture the essence of a typical dysfunctional family, yet identifies the significance of what family actually is.

Many people (young and old) will be able to relate to this film which highlights the differences between contrasting schools of thought in a very witty way - a must watch!(Plus the music's good too).
