Good.
I have seen the movie (when it was in theatres) and I liked it. Like in the movie it is shot like it was a documentary but in the movie it's not always a documentary unlike the short that is like that from start to finish. In the movie the camera is shaking but I got used to it, in the short this was awful and almost ruined it. I understand that sometimes camera shaking fits the movie but in that short movie it is passed the too much line. Also why shake the camera so much when you try to pass your movie like a documentary, I have seen a few documentaries and the camera was not shaking like someone was trying to film during an earthquake! If anyone is interested in watching it I saw it on YouTube on the channel Josh Blaney.
The directing and cinematography are horrible. The special effects are average. The acting, sounds, script, music and editing are good. The story is great. The sets, makeup and costumes are excellent.

A pity about the camera shake, they could have used a tripod. That does sound rather unprofessional. I'm glad you got some enjoyment out of it though.

I hate it so much when the camera shakes! They did it with that movie but it calmed down so by the half of it I was not bothered by it anymore; for the short movie it was way too much.
