Wait excels in the short form. 

It gives you everything in a tight ball so you can unpack it later after watching. The cold landscape of Maine never looked more beautiful and yet less forgiving as a girl at a tender age waits for what we all guess early is inevitable. 

But maybe next time we watch the short, it'll be different, right?

Also of note beyond the excellent camera work, is the sound. Taken completely from audio recorded post-shoot, it not only syncs up nicely, but is as crisp as the visuals and plot. An outstanding job done well.

I would highly recommend those running festivals or just general viewing gatherings pick this one up to show.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

The family genre features stories specifically created to be suitable for a wide range of age groups within a family. Family-oriented content is designed to be enjoyed by both children and adults, often providing entertainment that is wholesome, relatable, and appropriate for all members of a family to watch or experience together.
