This is perhaps the most GENUINE, the most REAL and well acted vignette that I have EVER had the pleasure to see coming out of Trinidad. The acting was superb, the characters were true to form and the story line was captured as if real life were unfolding in real time as it actually transpired and unfolded right before our very eyes. Well done and a hearty congratulations and thank you to ALL involved!

I am amazed and astounded by how tremendously well done this short is. I am a huge fan of film, and everything from the scripting to the acting felt so natural and realistic (which is really hard to do when "talkin trini"). The story was engaging and the pacing was perfect. I never felt once to take it off or pause and watch it later. It was a spectacular effort and I have it plastered all over my social media channels. And my friends are saying the same. Very, very well done, I hope to see more of this (or others like it on the same level) in the future. Best short ever period!

@iankh 10 лет назад

This short film is truly a testament to the endless talent and how easily we could take our culture and produce an amazing and captivating story. I'm not in anyway involved in film in Trinidad but this certainly inspires views to become apart of it. I could only imagine the hard work that went into this project.From the first scene this short film had me wanting more. I'm only 15 and I own a nikon D3200 and seeing this just inspires me to do something... go to a filmography class or something to gain knowledge about this art form. But as i said before congrats on this short film... hope there's more where that came from!!

But probably i could put together a small family film;if i could call it that. I do have a photography page on fb if yu wanna see.. facebook.com/Keagansimmonsphotography?ref=br_rs ...

Beautiful short film. For those who love doubles and Trinidad this is bittersweet...the joy of opening a hot, fresh doubles at 3 am at Curepe Junction, surrounded by the squalor of urban discontent all set in the raging aftermath of post-colonial disenfranchisement...I love the brutal truth none can deny....we are all descended from stupid coolies, promised a better life, but trapped and destined to live under the bondage of our ancestors mistakes...

For me this is the definition of entertaining and engaging, and extremely relatable. It felt smooth, natural and not forced. I thoroughly enjoyed this because it didn't feel like a story of bacchanal for the sake of ratings, like majority of the shows today. I truly desire, hope and pray that we have more of these from our country and cultures. I watched it several times and forwarded it to others. More more more please. YES.
