1, 2, 3, All Eyes on Me

This had the potential to be a phenomenal movie. Unfortunately, it was only 15 minutes, long with no real ending. Like a fade to black type of thing. I would have rather it be a little longer to give it an ending. They could have done so much with the storyline. Although tragic it could have given a good lesson. The teacher, although terrified was smart and creative in the attempt to save the children in her class. Just as you start to get into the story looking forward to seeing her succeed it just ends. The story just drops off leaving you to wonder what happened. There was also storylines in the classroom that provided no explanation. It would have gotten a 10 If it was longer and had a better ending.

Thought this short film has a dark premise it really does dive deeper into the mind of someone who might be going through this in the moment. A lot of people shrug off shootings as a "oh that's sad" and don't think about it again but this made me rethink about the things like this. It's frightening and it felt real. That's what was amazing about it. It didn't try to sugar coat the idea of a "shooting" but showed the mind of a teacher who had to experience this. The way the students acted felt real. Some weren't even crying because they were oblivious to the situation. Thank you for opening my eyes on this topic.

The sad reality is that this happens. In real life and time this is what happens. Some people will say "this short was bad" or "this shouldn't have been made." These people don't want to see the world for what it truly is. School shootings are growing and no one, not even out government is doing anything to stop it. I'm sorry folks but this short is seeing the harsh world we live in now. This short was very informative and this is what teachers have to do what they can. I loved the short made me cry and also think about my children everytime they go to school. Thank you for the informative short.

I just don't know what to say. I was surprised on how life threatening the movie takes. The violence was taken to a whole new level. I'm not one to watch scary movies but this one got my attention. Basically, 21 students and an art teacher are stuck in a shooter drill, they decide to run to the first room that was shot. A kid didn't listen and got shot. This is basically a combination of sad, scary, action packed, and Al round just something to be confused about. I am not entirely sure if it's real or not but it prepares children and parents what to do in case of that emergency. Again, this is very confusing. But, overall, I really like the plot and idea it goes through.

This movie, in 14 minutes, said more than any movie could in 2 hours. It was incredibly well acted and portrayed. The feeling of helplessness is perfectly portrayed. I am not a gun nut, although I own and occasionally carry one, and the only thing going on thru my mind was how the teachers MIGHT have a chance if they were able to shoot back. I'm not saying they would but at least a maybe. This movie is disturbing, thought provoking and can be triggering. I usually scoff at trigger warnings, but this movie definitely warrants one. It's also easy to second guess what you would do in this situation, but that's the point. The teacher even says it: I've never practiced for this. The ending is also exceptionally well done. There are no sirens and no help on the way. Just silnce and the unknown. Very powerful movie!!

This short film is one if the most terrifying, jarring, as well as one of the most emotion inducing, that I've ever watched all packed into 15 minutes. The first time my children, who are now grown, came home from school and told me about the active shooter drill they had practiced earlier that day, I had to sit with that thought for quite a while. I cannot imagine how it must feel to lose a child to such a violent act of cowardice. Future perpetrators of such violence aren't going to instantaneously acquire any novel ideas once they watch this. This now not so new reality is difficult and heart wrenching. We need to generate conversations about this subject. Not talking about it certainly does not wish it out of existence. The Violence Project is a research database and research center that has a lot of important information about mass shooters and shootings for anyone interested.
