Nice drug effects. Looks like a crazy dissociative! I wish you would have had a bit more leading up to actually having him trip on drugs ... is that supposed to be some kind of pill at the start? He chews it like gum. Don't know what drugs come in gum form! Maybe LSD?

One thing we're missing is ... who is this kid? Why should we care about him? Who are his friends?

Oh man, your audio is really blowing out there - I mean, I get maybe it's supposed to be trippy, but I wish it wasn't blowing out all crazy. I think it needs some kind of other effect to make it more etherial and trippy - maybe change the pitch of the voice, or something like that.

1:55 - okay, I wish this audio would calm down a bit here, getting to be kind of annoying.

I always like to see people take a more dramatic approach to film fights - doesn't happen too often and I appreciate the effort! Felt that we just needed to empthise a bit more with the character - understand who is he, maybe pressures from his parents, where did he get the drugs, etc. Also the technical issue of the voice over audio sounding really bad.

I give this film a C-

Be careful with that glowing edge filter, it can be way overused... but you used it pretty well actually.

Whoooaaaaa, distorted sound! Step back from that microphone! I love how trippy it all is though, very creepy! If you make sure your voice isn't distorted and is a bit quieter so it doesn't drown out the music (and maybe add some delay/reverb for added creepiness?)... the music is pretty cool too by the way.

Nice idea and there's some cool shots in this film!

Wicked FX on this! The audio being all fuzzed out kinda killed it though...
