The Order (2003)

If your upbringing was anything like mine, where the TV acted as an additional parent- there are so many new stories and perspectives to explore.

Director and writer, Miles Marti, brilliantly created a film that captures the story of a kid that learns a new reality all within the walls of her classroom. Tears Of Knowing lightly steps into the devastation of loss through a childhood lens, and presents a perspective that is not often acknowledged. Though grief and loss are important aspects, the film also showcases excellent portrayals of trust, innocence, and naivety.

This showcase of Hollywood’s finest talent will certainly be around come awards season, and much deserved

The fun tricks used in the production design and lighting read extremely well on-screen but hardly fulfill their purpose of trying to inject glamour into a lack-luster story with nothing to say. 

This is a Spanish-speaking short film that contains English subtitles. The short film is produced in the United States.

The Cycle refuses to lean into the same old, same old monster-movie tropes and builds the entire premise around the intellect and the history of a capable, smart female protagonist.
