However, there indeed is light at the end of the tunnel and the first step towards it involves acceptance and introspection. If you are able find kindness, towards others as well as yourself, all is not lost.

Bully | Short Film of the Day

Friday, an endeavor marked by a team of enthusiastic actors and filmmakers, introduces us to the events of a single day, the crucial aspects of the story that precede it and the horrifying conclusion it is eventually moving towards. The narrative follows a non-linear trajectory to portray it all for the viewer as it introduces them to one character after another. 

 The plot progression is further equipped with a wry narratorial voice that aims to involve you further into the story, thereby attempting to enhance the final result by adding another layer to it. The film exhibits deep potential, a bona fide desire to share an important story, along with a sincerity to performance by all the actors. 

 Additionally, the plot pushes its limits by breaking the fourth wall, fast-paced development of the circumstance and a shocking turn of events in a story that had begun on a fairly harmless note. Consequently, Friday becomes an engaging film with a relevant message, finally leaving the viewer with the interesting prospect of seeing more similar projects by its tenacious team.
