The movie is a bit slow at times, and its obviously low-budget. But, it is an interesting story written by a 14 year old. The writer actually stars as "Silver" in the movie. Caught between heaven and hell, this teen committed suicide and must live her days out in purgatory house. I thought it was insightful and put an interesting twist of what happens after suicide.

This indie movie really hits on the voice of teenagers from a teenager. The backgrounds are not bid buget flashy, but they are heartfelt portrayals with the insight of a young teenager wanting to reach out to others with her movie. If you've ever been involved with a low budget indie movie, you can appreciate what this cast and crew has done with their limited budget. Kudos! Plus, watching this movie is supporting up-and-coming indie writers, directors, actors, and crew!

So few adults are able (or even make the attempt) to address teen suicide and suicide attempts. Who better to address this topic than a teen herself. I found this movie intriguing, thought provoking, and quite well done. This is an indie project, written by and starring 14 year old Celeste Davis. Holly6wood should be so daring, thoughtful, etc. Celeste must be an amazing young woman as much as she is also a regular teen. To whom do I recommend this video? Teens, parents, teachers--just about everyone. Bravo, Celeste!!!

A very simple plot, but still fresh and young spirited. I enjoyed this movie and I have seen a lot of movies and I do not always enjoy movies!

Teachers should all have a copy of this movie or at least see this movie. It is really heartfelt and insightful.

I thought this film was going to be an impressive piece of work done by an unusually talented 14 yr old prodigy, man was I wrong! If you aren't expecting too much, you might actually think this movie is passable. But I couldn't help thinking through the whole movie that the central theme was "look at me !!! look at me!!!! look how "goth" and different I am,,,,,be amazed as I entertain the idea that God is a woman, and the fact that im so tragically goth!!!!" The only thing I can give her props for is actually getting her movie produced, other than that this movie plays out like an after school special or Public Service Announcement.
