I hope whoever watches this enjoys it, and feedback (positive or negative) is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!
First off, it really shouldn't have taken you three years....Say less, do more. You're script is ridiculously naive and people are pretty much narrating their actions at times. If you aren't a good writer then cut the script down to the bare minimum and work on building tension or interest in other ways. Editing is a bit crap, the fades are just clumsey and you should be able to knock stuff out at this standard in hours, not years. Story is kinda tedious in general. I could say the acting is bad, but to be honest that is to be expected in zero budget stuff anyway and its nowhere near as bad as the dialogue anyway.

I'm sure you will read that and be disappointed by the amount of negative feedback, but in my defense, I did sit through the whole thing and it is pretty bad! If you really want any advice and plan on continuing with this project I would advise you scale things back, make shorter videos based on single scenes and work out exactly what you are trying to accomplish with the scene. Anything that doesnt aid towards that goal, discard or refine. Its better to end up with a 30 second clip of something decent than 15 minuites of dross.
