This film depics what many couples experience. I was on the edge of my seat trying to predict the next scene. Non predictable. l like the ending when Mr do wrong came home to find out he has been found out and was given the boot. Wonderful plot, showing people how you conduct themselves in a similar sitation. Great way to set the suspense in motion, like what is she going to do? Then the final scene said it all. Brother you have to go, with no words, and without any argument or chance for explanation. I feel Miss Kiara Jones did a very good job.I would love to see this film full length.

I vote for this movie, the feeling and drama is very intense Basura

Being that I played the “Mr do wrong”(Luis)character…I figure I would leave a few words of wisdom. Unfortunately I have had the experience of being “found out” in real life. Not the best experience but you live and you learn…

I’m glad you enjoyed the film. The director and actors did and excellent job!

Silent acting is the toughest form. The relay the message without words in a medium that is so visual and audio driven can be a challenge. Great job to all. Good luck.

This was by far the best of the three movies because it was very believable. Great job you guys.

This film is very realistic. There are some women out there right now who is going through the same situation. At times we would like to know what would a person in that position would do on film and the end result is satisfying. I like this film. I too would like to see it in full length. Kiara got my vote.

Having watched all three shorts here this is by far the most outstanding production. Good scene composition, convincing acting (the young woman’s tears put a lump in my throat)and coherent storyline. Kiara, you have my vote.

Kiara, This film is a breath of fresh air because, sometimes less is more. I did not need words the woman actor was/is very, very good! I am sure we will see more of you. Bravo!
PS You ask a question on air about Buddie Films Well, I think Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are the best buddies of all.

Very powerful!

This was okay. One great moment when she cries upon her revelation. But what does she do about it? Nothing. The film ends with her being the victim. I recognized this character as a victim, nothing more. Maybe if I could have seen some humanistic or admirable qualities about the wife? Yes, it would have been a bit longer but that would’ve been better than this, in my humble opinion. I did, however, like the black & white look though.

Work Stephen! Work Frances!!!! Y’all better WORK, darnit!
