Viewing Notes

Excellent production and photography. Interesting story about the end of the world but the drama between the characters didn’t work that well for me.

Cinepocalypse Day 3/“Females Attack” Short Film Program: directed by Lauren Cooney (who also wrote and stars in this film), PENDULUM has a lot going for it. Production and photography are excellent. The premise is interesting in how people cope with the impending end of the world but the drama between the leads drags (yes, I get this is really the core of the film; a melodrama framed by apocalyptic dread). This may work as a longer feature.
