Maybe I'm missing something here? I understand what the story was going for and in that light found it to be intriguing. However, the execution of it really just didn't do anything for me at all. I mean three people sitting in a room talking about nothing, and I mean really nothing! There was no subtext to the conversation and nothing about the dialogue gave any sort of arc to the characters or their experience in meeting each other. The only thing I can say good about the script is just the idea of it was kind of cool. Three generations of Native Americans sitting in a hospital and the oldest one is about to die. Thus, symbolizing the death of a culture, not bad right? In my opinion Sterlin Harjo should stick to writing and leave directing to people who halfway know what the hell they are doing. As far as being technically proficient goes, I've worked on a lot of short films that were made for far less money, and were also shot on film mind you; that at least didn't show the entire crew's reflection in an opening 10 second long pretentious wanna be Mike Nichols/Wes Anderson shot!
