Ratings and reviews

A powerful, and am always amazed when a film maker can create just a few scenes in just a few minutes and still create a HUGE emotional impact. One of the best short films out there, and this is not said lightly, as the 'dad' in the Father/Daughter Film Report for Film Festival Today, we see literally thousands of short films in film festivals around the world...this film is certainly worth the $1.99 for ANYONE to see, whether you have a disability or not, for one only need to have a past difficulty in anything to relate to this excellent piece of storytelling so well crafted together....

This is an amazing short film. I have been a person who stutters since I was about 10 years old, and I still struggle with it to this day. This short showcases the different ways that we try to avoid stuttering. For some people it may be learning sign language, using filler words, or just speaking slower. Past media has portrayed people who stutter as incompetent or stupid. There are many various ways of stuttering; it is not only repetitions, but internal blocks as well. The way the blocks are portrayed in this film were so real and intense. I would recommend this film to everyone. Especially those who do not know about stuttering to show them the struggle we go through everyday.

Beautiful film. As someone who spent the first 12-14 years of their life as a stutterer, this film characterizes what it is like perfectly. From not wanting to speak on the phone, to rehearsing what they are going to say. These filmmakers certainly did there homework. Through the love of Jesus Christ I was freed from this speech impediment and have been blessed with the opportunities to speak at state and national competitions and conferences in front of thousands of people. This was all done through God and God alone. I hope I can serve as an example of hope for those who are struggling with this speech impediment. God can and will do great things in your life, you just have to welcome him in. I want to personally thank the producers for taking the time to speak the words and emotions stutterers are far too often unable to speak. Never has 13 minutes of film impacted my emotions like this film did. I hope you give this film a chance and as you are not going to find a better film that can deliver this type of perspective.
