Brilliant short film about traditional family values and the transitional change of technology and what really matters

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.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way.
