Truth Lies Beneath
So impressive! Set design, dialogue, score, plot, (obviously lighting and cinematography) all fantastic. I'd disagree that it was 'too much plot', as someone said, I think it was an effective mystery story with a great reveal that was unexpected but simple enough to make sense straight away.
If I were to nitpick I'd say the horse hooves sound, though great for reinforcing the period, was distracting and maybe different atmospheric sounds of the outside world would've established a nice sound scape.
Costumes were fabulous, though the modern hair and makeup stood out to me straight away, otherwise you very nearly pulled off a totally convincing period piece, huge well done!
Pure dramas don't always get the credit they deserve up against comedies in this competition but you can be super proud.
Act of Service
Really cool use of genre, pulled off the simplicity because the car setting is pretty funny with the guy misunderstanding the hookup for a fancy first date, and the characters struck the balance of super natural but also classic stereotypes. Well written and the mirrors bit building the pace was brilliant. The flyer twist is pretty funny, could've been his plan all along or the trusty backup exit strategy! Nice one guys!
