"It's really insightful and made me understand a wee bit more about how it must feel from the inside"

"Can't stop thinking about it, (sign of a great short film I reckon)"

"The script did not let up, building to quite the crescendo, leaving an indelible 'Daisy' imprint"

"It was so relatable in areas but also did what I've wanted to see in a lot of short films, have that comedic twist."

“If the intention when writing and creating it was to produce something honest, creative, emotional, and yet balanced, I think you hit the right notes”

"It’s a testament to creativity, imagination, passion, skill, determination and humour about a pretty dark subject - and its as far away from a self-indulgent Gen X take on mental health as you can get."
