A tender short film about two people who cross paths again during a wedding, where the stillness of the church holds all the words they never said. It’s a story of timing, forgiveness, and the quiet places where love refuses to fade.
Starring a young cast bringing real heart to every moment.

Maybe move the camera more?

Ha, fair note. This one was meant to stay still for the vibe, but I appreciate you giving it a look. But, the stillness is what I wanted.

Great short film, Mista Martel! It's not easy to write a gripping short film where two people are sitting and talking.

Maurice Vaughan - Thanks. I'm big fan of the original 12 Angry Men. I like to see what can be done with limited movement and stillness.
As you know Sidney Lumet intentionally kept the camera nearly static through much of the film to mirror the emotional pressure cooker of the jury room. As you that help to reflects the jurors’ stuck, boxed-in situation. Which is part of what I wanted to convey here that these two people are stuck, boxed-in.

You're welcome, Mista Martel. I'll have to check out the original 12 Angry Men. I like when the camera stays still in a movie. Too much moving pulls me out the story.

Definitely give the original a watch, Maurice Vaughan . The stillness really lets the story breathe. I get what you mean about too much movement. Cloverfield actually gave me a bit of a headache. I prefer something subtle, like the Star Trek bridge rumble, where the motion supports the scene instead of taking you out of it.
