@HealthyJaime @omeletocom@somahelmi@JilonVanOver@erinrosew@LugoTron Just watched it. Extremely well shot & amazing acting.
The building of the tension was intense & brilliant. Really like how it makes you question whether your preconceptions of people & situations could potentially colour your instincts & actions.
Very thought provoking.
Watched Black Creek Trail, a great short, on @omeletocom’s YouTube channel.
Directed by @somahelmi & Written by @HealthyJaime, who stars alongside @JilonVanOver.
Really makes you think about preconceptions & instincts in relation to self preservation.
