Short film or Expensive Demo Reel?
alexandhenrys15 March 2018
If you like short films intended to showcase non-working actors from acting class, this is your chance. This isn't about telling a story, it's about padding the resume, the IMDB credits, and the demo reel. Sorry, I wanted to like this short, I like shorts and I like actors, but this is just an expensive demo reel.

Phenomenal!

Eye opening, with an amazing twist that I never saw coming. An accurate portrait of human emotion and weakness. I believed every second of it! I'm looking forward to seeing more from LA Acting Studios.

Extraordinary
mhfineartist3 June 2018
I knew I was watching quality filmmaking from the moment this short began. The first few minutes proved me correct; but I had no way to anticipate how affected I would be by this thrilling collaborative work. 400 to Oahu moved me to tears before I realized what was happening to me emotionally. I don't often get surprised anymore; but just as I was regrouping from shedding a few tears, I found that my mouth was agape from the gasp this film had just illicited. This is a whip smart, superbly crafted ensemble piece. Everything from the writing, editing, award winning acting and directing fits together like a perfect, satisfying puzzle. I cannot wait to see more from this team.

Wish it was a feature!

I really enjoyed this short. I understand that it was for the 48 hour film festival, which is great and all, but I'm left wanting more. I want more!!!! I wish it was a feature length film! The story and concept was really cool, and the acting was spot on. Sequel? Eh, it was worth a shot.

A Natural Phenom
torawoloshin18 July 2018
In a regular 30-60 minute episode/series, I have a "5 minute test". A test with rules that stop me from watching if the first episode doesn't draw me in within the first 5. I can easily say that this short had me hooked in under 30 seconds. If we do the math and this short was a series with full length episodes, it would definitely pass my "5 minute test", with flying colors. It was well shot and the foresight was very clear. The intentions and message were very personal to the greater percentile of this world, and I loved it!

An unexpected ride
oscararmando117 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This film is definitely one worth watching. The story is told from the perspective of Chelsea Lerner who is diagnosed with a terminal illness. She and her partner board a flight to Oahu and learn half way that something tragic has happened. I cannot begin to wrap my head around what happens on that plane. Just when you think that the story cannot get any worst for Chelsea, the plane and the plot take off into a direction that leaves you questioning the human race. I wish I would have filmed my reactions as I was watching this film because I feel that would have been entertaining to watch as well. This story was beautifully told and I enjoyed watching it. I recommend that everyone with a beating heart watch this film.
