I was pleased with seeing this film on the Sundance website. It sets a good tone early and you quickly find yourself wondering what will happen. But your curiosity is pushed to the side while enjoying the reflective narration and story. I enjoyed the plot throughout and especially the ending. The film captures the cultural event of the barbershop in a realistic way while still leaving room for the unknown to possibly occur. The underlying message and idea was conveyed well and bouncing between the past and present helped to keep your interest throughout. Whenever I view a short film and leave with the feeling that I have connected with the characters, I have to give kudos to the film. I recommend this one and I look forward to seeing more work from Be' Garrett.

A Classic!

This film was very well done and I was pleased to see it at Sundance. I don't know why we don't hear/see of it anymore. It explores assumptions, diversity, faith and hope in each other, and mentorship. I would love to see it available at CRM to purchase - I would use it in the classroom without hesitation! There are few shorts that have such a tremendous impact on these topics - A Nick in Time nails them all. I wish the director would revisit the film and make it available again - it's tough to find it in the marketplace, if not impossible. Very well done! Ahead of its time, and yet the issues precede us and will follow us. Please consider redistribution.
