Very well done. All actors were really good in their roles and this one grabbed me and held onto me all the way through.

You have a jewel of an actress in Carlie Nettles. Keep on using her and sooner or later she will get noticed for further opportunities.

Nice color correction, and great camera work as always. It looked really good. I generally liked the story because it was a bit sci fi, but didn't really care for the message I got out of it which was "rich people are selfish mmmkay". It's very stereotyping, like saying all poor people are stupid and lazy.

Hey - it's actually a lot deeper than that. In fact, if you notice the characters would've done the same thing regardless of wealth. It's just a story about those left behind and a mysterious atmosphere as requested for the 48 hour fest. The message really is that everyone would do it. Regardless of wealth. Because it's a chance. It might be argued that they had a point to do so. I mean it's better than everyone dying. Of course this isn't totally fiction. I recall reading articles about this very thing happening. Underground bunkers being purchased at an alarming rate. thanks for watching regardless!

I suppose it's a bit like the movie 2012 where the rich people have a ticket for giant Arks built in Tibet, and all the poor people are going to drown.

It was really well done, and I'm not taking that away from you at all. But one sort of gaping plot hole was why are these people hanging out in a crappy little shack if all the rich people are gone?

Seems like there would be plenty of vacated mansions and 5 star hotels.

I haven't seen 2012, however about the why they are hanging out in a shack is simple. They are on the move. If rich people ran away from their mansions would you go there and stay? I'd rather be with others somewhere else. However this is subjective.
Also, we were actually going for the opposite theme. Where regardless of the rich, if you have a chance to go. Do it. No need for everyone to die. Alas, the 48 hour theme of mystery we had to really not say too much which might leave things to be a bit cliche' but isn't that all short films? End on a mysterious note. haha. Again thanks for watching.

Pretty much. You don't really have time for deep character or plot development.
