What I liked

This is not your normal dysfunctional relationship between siblings!!Add the impending death of their mother and you have a meaty core.It is well written,and Ryan certainly went to some dark places…..Lead Actor Aaron Stall as Colin was very natural,and his angst and inner turmoil seemed real,without being forced….Ethan Barker as Miles,the younger brother was charming,but other than Aaron I felt the rest of the Cast were not as comfortable in their characters,with emotions feeling forced rather than natural.

What I didn't like

It is too long….If it could be trimmed to an hour it would work better imo
Not a huge fan of the avant-garde cat people sequences,which is where some of the trimming could be achieved

My overall impression

This is a brave and provactive piece.I do think it’s still a work in progress.I hope Ryan continues to work on it because it approaches a well worn storyline in a unique and eye-opening way
