Great filmography. All of your shots are smooth and artfully constructed. This is a difficult subject to tackle with imagery, and we appreciate that you found ways of communicating the emotion of the opioid crisis with shots of the lehigh river for exposition and the ambulance. We love the focusing shots, and the placement and symbolism of the rope over water and the quote on the stone wall. It’s like what Kim Snyder spoke to us about last night when she said sometimes the absence of graphic depictions of horrible things can make the mental image more powerful. She extended that as far as facial expressions in Newtown. However, we do think some shots more relevant to the story should maybe be shown earlier on, so that the viewers understand earlier; you could maybe get more b-roll of health clinics and hospitals if the releases work out? We feel as though b-roll will be easier for you once you have your interviews as well. Then you can tailor the graphics and imagery to what people are willing to share with you. The music you used underneath your footage was powerful as well.
