<I thought your film was really thought provoking and obviously very different to the sorts of films I work on! I liked the way it was directed and shot and your use of camera angles. The sequence where the couple were attacked was particularly chilling as the violence was directed against the woman and not the man as I initially expected. I had an instinct that the main attacked was going to attack the girl but it was still shocking when it happened. Also the fact that these weren’t shaven headed thugs but seemingly well dressed and wealthier men and the almost casual nature of their attack added to the sense of unease. I thought the use of sound and music was good, the fact that you had very little dialogue and the music score was simple and understated. I initially found the pacing a bit slow but then as the story unfolded I could see the point of this, as at first I was trying to work out what the relationship was between the characters. I hope that your film does well in the festivals, especially in the US as it is dealing with a subject that is very contemporary and relevant for all of us in our multi-racial and multi-cultural world.> Lloyd P.
