If I know good cinema....and my mother says I do....then I'd say this is the best film I've ever seen in my life.

I believe we should all adopt their red string philosophy in our own world. It would make for a more just and simpler lifestyle. All we need are some ethics, values, and a higher power that we can all agree on. Seems so simple.

Nice job Great Lakes Film Society....and good luck with the Finals!

Those bags of skunk look suspiciously…. convincingly real…. lol. Great film. Your lead actor looks and remind me of Alfie Allen. Te Moana. nui a Toi produce some heavy hitters. Well done guys.

Very nice. This 48 film reminds me of 2011. The Doco craze was huge. But alas. Kind of a breathe of fresh air watching this. Well done.

A very young looking team. Your film actually has a lot of character. The filters give your film a dark vibe. The girl with red in her hair does a brilliant job and busts her butt acting her heart out. Good job team.

Just saw this on the GF livestream. Damn, such a cool concept. Might actually place 2nd or 3rd. Good stuff.

Loose End was a beautifully composed film with a strong concept and fantastic production design. It played to its concept strongly and the actor's gleeful performance provided fun energy that seeped into every aspect of the film. I felt like the story fell a little flat towards the middle of the film due to a lack of stakes / risk? There was a lot of build-up regarding the importance of following your string and not letting go, but when it actually happened, I think the sense of drama would have been heightened with the string police (lol) or whomever chasing the main protagonist. In saying that, the actor's strong performance carried the piece with strong editing making it a delight to watch. Great work GLFS!

A different - in a good way - kind of film from many of the other "skit" type films. With a full features length storyline crammed into 5minutes. The ending although shocking and thought provoking didn't feel setup well enough to be as satisfying as it could have been. Was that his string coming back to get him? The tone took a natural progression which was comforting until that final couple of shots though;-)

Thanks so much everyone for the support and love for our string film - too many people to individually name but we love you all:)

We have many awesome projects in the works and would love for you to follow our journey - greatlakefilmsociety.com

Dedicated to Katherine Ansley - Our beautiful, smiling friend who managed to escape her string and showed us how life can be when lived to its fullest.

What a ripper! Loved this one. They did an awesome job taking such a conceptual film and making it sentimental and touching - particularly given the time and budget constraints. I felt that the visual metaphor/imagery tied in (pardon the pun) innately to the story/concept. It’s difficult to create an affective response with allegory, but this team managed to do that with great humor and some broad thematics. Very deftly handled by the director. Great lake indeed!
