great job. the cinematography was amazing. and the last shot was really cinematic, did you have a jib arm to do that? the only thing that bothered me was the scene with the killing in the car. I wish you used a different car, like a beat up old rusty car. throughout the whole movie i felt this retro vibe to it even though the characters wore present day clothes, it had a "stand by me"/"O brother where art thou" look. That might be just my opinion because i'm a type of person that likes vintage things like records and letters and film cameras. but anyways great job. i really enjoyed it.

The cinematography stands out the most. The scenes in the rain look amazing. Clouds always make video look nice.
I definitely got that Stand By Me vibe. Especially when they go past the railroad tracks at the beginning. Kind of cool. I don't know if it was inspired by that or not.
I don't know if I love the story. It was alright to me. It would have been nice to develop their relationships a bit more.
Yeah, this is actually an unfinished movie. Due to complications and running out of time (season wise), we were unable to finish the film. So this is, in essence, a compilation of various scenes that we had finished in the time we did. This is a great departure from the original script and is missing a lot in terms of story, so I can understand your feelings.

Editing seemed flawless. sound quality was good, the camp fire scene was the only time i had a slight diffuculty hearing what was being said. in my opinion they shouldn't have revealed the murder so early in the film should have left me in suspence of what all of them were running from until after the second murder. and another small detail was their clothes i would've suggested scrubbing some dirt on the clothes so it would've appeared they slept in the wild.. all small details over all 4 out of 5 stars is what i rated it. keep up the awesome work.
The cinemetography was amazing! the script was very very good as well, but i feel like you used words that real teenagers wouldn't use ... it was still superb though. also, where did you get your music for this?? i really like the score.
