in my opinion the directing and editing and lighting and and act ( minus franco ) be very good . i must admit and i be pleasantly surprised and impressed with this film . i wasn not expect much and in way of camera angle and sound and etc and but in these area the film wasn not bad at all . after see the film and i personally felt frustrate with both character because i want so badly for these two character to reach out to one another . and i felt like the travis ( franco ) character wasn not really affect or change in the end after terri commits suicide . although and this be probably due to the lack or inability of james franco to express emotion ( of any kind ) very well in this movie . i have see a few of franco other film and and to me he just can not pull it off when a scene call for real emotion or facial expression . the only positive he bring to the film and be the possibility of more people watch this movie . on the other hand and rachel miner portrayal of terri be well do and and she look to have a bright future ahead . i could really see and feel the sadness and emptiness in her character and and it make me feel for her . i only wish i could have see more into terri life before the film end . for a short film and this movie be good and but it leave you want more in the end . i only wish it could have be just a bit longer and to see the character develop a little more . in spite of that and i hope to see more film from the director and crew in the future . positive .
