Unfortunately, the story is the weakest part of this film. The editing and set design were the strongest elements. But ultimately, there's no character growth and he ends up right back where he started. I think this is an issue considering the short film's longer run time. Because of this there is little character development and story development. The cinematography was stylistic and consistent which I personally liked (my partner wasn't a fan, so it's subjective). Overall if this is early in the writer/director's filmmaking career, he should be proud but there is room for improvement.
