Shorts
Home Free
Home Free: On the first day in their new inner-city neighborhood, a seven-year-old boy runs away from his mother and sister into the mayhem of the city streets. He sets out to pursue his independence, but gets more than he bargained for.
Directed by William Harkins
Home Free is a wonderful expression of tribulations in the big city. The music was exciting and the acting supurb by the little boy, the big sister, the mother, neighbor and vendor. How in the world did the filmmaker get a city full of people to look the other way and a fire to break out in the middle of the film? This is excellent and should win an award.
ok best one .
robbie that is amazingggggg good luck with whatever this is
robbie you look so cute=]
this was a cute short movie
YHIS IS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE. HARD TO BELIEVE IT COULD BE WRITTEN BY YOUNG ADULTS. VERY IMPRESSED!
EXCELLENT——–
Very good, excellent music. Every kid gets lost and its to people like that neighbor that help the child get found.
This short had a good emotional arc with an resolution that tied it all together. Excellent camera work with good location choices.
Great film. Loved the acting and the music.
Excellent!
I thought the music was great but i imagine the mother would be extremely emotional after losing her child.
enjoyed the short a lot. i’ve live in the city all my life and i remember running off on my own too when i was a kid. it was exciting, scary and fun all at once though i got a good scolding when i found my way back home.
and robbie and jess, you two were great!
very touching, impressive, and well organized. I wish the best for this short.
I really enjoyed how the music was used to express the feelings of the protagonist through this film.
Hi this is Paul; I played saxophone and wrote the music for the soundtrack (some was group improvisation, and in any case the bassist Apostolos and drummer Gasper were equal participants in the soundtrack). Just wanted to say thanks for all the positive feedback on the music. You can hear more at my website, http://www.paulcarlonmusic.com
Good luck Bill!
Thank you everyone, for your support.

Good Movie! Kinda reminded me of snoopy vs home alone.
great credit sequence!
I thought this was boring, I didn’t know where it was going, then it turned out to be predictable at the end. There were, however, a few nice cinematographic moments.
Perhaps, if you broke the film down into areas, sound, camera, background, cast, music, editing, lighting, to consider and appreciate the technical aspects individually - then stand back, the way you do with a painting, and look at it as a whole - this might help you to see it in a different light.
Great music! Loved the energy, diversity and serendipity of the city.
