Tess Brooks from Surrey Hills Australia posted on 4 Sep 2021 5:50:12 PM This film talks to the child's ability to see what others cannot.Congratulations on a film with an important message. So many time people will engage with the carer and ignore the person in a wheel chair - is it because it's easier more comfortable or the assumption the person has no way to communicate or take in the message

Peter Stephenson Jones from South morang Australia posted on 24 Aug 2021 11:15:20 PM A beautiful short film succinct with a captivating central performance. The gentle under statement is rich and captivating. Odd we rarely see films that explore this kind of relationship. The two men clearly have a lovely connection. The inner monologue of the central character is both profound and clear. Thank you for a lovely film.
geoff boccalatte from alexandria Australia posted on 24 Aug 2021 1:24:26 PM Subtle succinct exploration of the casual assumptions we employ daily the guileless unaffected eye of the child .....and the yearning of the human heart.Congratulations
Vicki Grace from Bondi Beach Australia posted on 24 Aug 2021 12:49:23 PM Alex the empathy in your film is truly moving and inspiring. The gentle touch of the carer's hand on Arlo's arm when the first visitor arrives is such a kind guide for us. A moment's empathy is all it takes to reach out to someone.
William Jordan from Blakehurst Australia posted on 23 Aug 2021 10:24:58 AM I have had a look at this work and I am most impressed by it The quiet contemplative thinking of the man in the wheelchair is captivating and very arresting to the viewer. I have never and nor would I have ever considered that people with cerebral palsy would be this mentally aware and would think in this manner. Well done with the exposure in the writing of this work sir. The sub-zero frustration in the film's voice-over is fantastic. It gives the artist's thoughts an attentive edge.
