This was an excellent film, that did a great job of the One Room genre. It was centered around a nice crime, and had the audience guessing throughout it. It came to a satisfactory ending and was very cleverly written. Well Done. The acting was good, with all five characters playing their parts well, and speaking clearly (well done to the sound crew for picking up nice sound too). It was subtly and effectively lit, with a nice tint over the film. Overall the cinematography was beautiful, and the film looked lovely. Good job guys.

The one room film is a very, very tough genre. Immersed in limitations, concise boundaries and highly focused on the relationships within the room, this group of teen-somethings TOTALLY NAILED IT. My delight of the night. Quite apart from the technical excellence of this film, (10/10 across the board, even a limited length dolly shot in what have been a very cramped environment) the story delivered was crisp, tight and right on the money. A truly great script. I actually liked the guys on screen, I knew about them as individuals and I wanted to know more about them. This was a tough act to follow. The ending, while under-done, was a reasonable exit to a difficult situation.
Really well written and acted. One of the best movies of the night, loved it. lighting worked really well with the movie. Sound was a bit of a let down, but didn't drag the movie down too much. Loved it.
I loved the concept behind this short film. The Security footage helped reinforce this and added to the story. The cinematography was great and the acting was believable. I enjoyed all the separate character traits. Congratulations. A great film, with a clever idea and use of genre

Definitely one of the best of the night, although I would consider the bathroom to be a second room

great shoots sounds effects and all only one problem i was not surprised at all ?? hard genre but did not get excited at all
Subtlety is an attribute often missing from 48hour films, but these guys deployed it to great effect, creating a situation populated with characters we cared about, and shooting it with beauty and confidence. The story was effective, sufficiently simple, and engaging. The acting was very nicely played, and the cinematography was satisfying and never boring, which can be a particular concern with this genre. These guys are definitely ones to watch.

It took a couple of security camera shots before I started to get it and then wow! One room with an MPD. Now that was novel. Good working of camera shots in a tight space, good sound, and consistant "personalities" to deal with. The phone???? it doesnt go with a security camera and frankly that was bit creepy over a double-bed too but I only really thought about that on reflection. At time I found it gripping and clever (once I started to guess what was going on and then getting satisfaction of "getting it"). An very enjoyable film.

Nice work guys/gal! I liked the tension around what to do with the body. The room cam was a nice ending, but hotel rooms don't have cams. The split personality was a clever idea, though I didn't get it till it was explained. Go Rangers!!
