The Host Unknown

Far and away the most stylish school film of the heats so far. Beautifully shot, lovely pacing and a sophisticated edit. Phenomenal art direction, use of the drawing element, creative angles and lighting choices.

Excellent performances. Love the mumble-core-esque delivery which gave so much authenticity.

Extra commendation for playing your age!

My only nitpick would be that I'd have loved to have seen a bit more intensity in piano keys moment. Maybe a jauntier angle, deeper SFX, possibly ramping up the motion slighting to make it "hit harder" so to speak.

Overall an extremely well constructed film which absolutely plays to your strengths. I'm really looking forward with what you guys come up with in the future!

Beautifully shot film. Clear storyline with great shot selection made it truly immersive. Great performances all around. Highly recommend watching this one, keen as to see what films y'all churn out in the future. Huge props

A really great film, team. Sinister and unsettling in vibe as school mates discuss their mate who hasn't been in class for quite some time and the film unfolds as to why.

Stylistically fantastic. Your yellow saturations clearly felt like a nod to BACKROOMS and yet your creepy drawing was the stuff of nightmares straight out of SINISTER or the BABADOOK.

Using split screen to mix things up was a bold but sure handed choice and it genuinely felt like there was a deft hand directing this film. I think your pacing and edit was fantastic.

To elevate the film a bit more I would suggest honing in on a your central protagonist and looking for more emotional impact for whatever you shoot next. Just my 2c but you also have a strong voice so keep up the good work!
