The film was very eloquent and moving. It said that we all share problems, from the homeless to those without hope.

This short film is beautifully shot and edited. I would love to see much more from this extremely talented. Bravo Mr.Boynton!

Loved it! At first it’s simplicity seem surprising, yet by the end I realized how carefully it was shot, the performance were so well
acted ,much work had to be involved and the music was absolutely
sublime!

Well made. The yuppie was believable. The bum should have been played by an old, black guy (no, it’s not a stereotype, more like an archetype). It’s easy to bond with someone if they kinda look like you, but with someone totally different?
