CGiii Comment

More of that battling with religion and sexuality...

For a short film, the opening shot is crucial...dream sequences rarely work [even with a big budget]. And...for a short film, time management is paramount. Tell the story, delete the unnecessary!

With his struggle Jeremiah's mental health becomes jeopardized.
