All Accolades & Coverage
This script is what quotable critics would probably call a wild ride. The plot moves at breakneck speeds and really doesn’t leave much time to be bored. Any audience for a short has more attention invested than a feature audience--shorter movies means shorter attention spans required. This script looks to reward that short attention span with constant action and only brief breaks in the scenes--even the breaks manage some kind of tension.
That latent tension is usually due to one of quite a few memorable characters. Rhys, Nia, especially Nattie, are interesting characters to be following, simply for the severity of their actions. This is smart character development for any action script.
