fantastic short, yamato. can't wait to see your future work... provided that there are still operating cameras in the future. in the futures we imagined we'd just have to settle with making 16x9 squares with our thumbs and forefingers.

Great work Rising Sons. Definitely a thriller with a lot of story that captivates with a lot of inner dialogue and emotion. Tough competition and very well deserved. Hulo and Kanpai!

Amazing use of angle and depth. Ditto comments above, little dialogue yet not need. I'm wondering if in such situations if words would mean less and less and only our actions would speak. Proud to know the Doughty boys!

Well done!!! High quality, professional production. Easy to see why you won.
If you're planning any productions in the future and are in need of CREW members (ex: PA, grip, etc) please keep me in mind.
