SELECT COMMENTS BY THE DC SHORTS JUDGES:

"Shot extremely well. Great job by the DP! Well written script and story. Actors performed well.  This film is very well made (with great audio too!) and edited."

"Beautiful camera work and excellent acting. Strong color and sharp cinematography. Nice blend of light and dark. There was an excellent sense of attention to detail (costumer, settings, dialogue) and was very thorough and strong. The music enhances the story and the movie. I like it very much."

"Beautifully shot quasi period piece. The photography is brilliant and of excellent quality, with great lighting and carefully arranged shots.  It is a beautiful piece of film."

"TEN PACES is a well done period film addressing a woman’s obligation to her family versus her desire to be with the man she loves. [The film] is relevant and emotionally relatable to a modern audience . . . the film succeeds."
