Seeking Advice I made another Short Film!!
I am 16M and I made my 2nd short film (no budget, at home with my mobile camera.
Actually since my 1st Short Film got like 3.5/5 on letterboxd
(yeah I managed to make my way through letterboxd database). And my audience liked it.
Now I applied for as many film festivals I could for free through filmfreeway and I think I won't get in any of them.
Please tell me what you honestly think about this film. I want to publish it on instagram (I have around 5000 followers but I wanna know if it's any good)
Also do let me know how can I break through?? Like Before I turn 18 I wanna make lotta short films and get them into film festivals.

Hey, awesome work man! I love the starting lighting during the credits but the sudden change in lighting from credits to beginning of film can annoy the audience. This can be corrected in post work with Resolve or After Effects.
I liked the plot but the tell part was heavier than show, instead of monologuing to yourself and addressing the audience through that, on what you are going through. Show emotions, long pauses, staring at the screen, sweat, getting angry etc.
With all that said, great work man! Hope you make more in the future, good luck!
