    Exquisite!

    This extremely well-written short film is one you will not forget! The acting is exceptional. I always enjoy watching Lance Henriksen. The topic is so timely and important. Although tumultuous and gut-wrenching, it shows a realistic point of view of the topic. This director is to be congratulating for tackling the subject. Her hard work shows, and it certainly paid off in this small gem.

    Amazing story with incredible acting. It will make you cry,

    This is the first time I have ever been compelled to give a 10 star rating to ANY film on IMDb, much less an indie short film.

    "Fragile Storm" starts out as a mystery, with a older man seemingly keeping a younger woman bound in captivity. I don't want to give away any plot points, for that would ruin it, so all I will say is that, from there, director Dawn Fields weaves a tale of love, loss and compassion that leaves me tearing and breathless every time I watch it.

    Everything about this film is incredible. The acting is top notch, with great performances from well known actor Lance Henriksen, as well as from Jody Jaress and Mackenzie Mason. It's clear that all three gave their hearts and souls to their performances.

    The writing and directing are crisp and direct and tell a a complete, heartbreaking story in only 9 minutes.

    With all of that said, I sincerely hope no one thinks that I am engaging in hyperbole or that I am over-hyping this film. I truly feel that it is that great of a film and, not only that, it's a movie with a strong message, which becomes clear once you watch it.

    Give this film 9 minutes of your time. You won't be sorry.

    An extremely powerful , emotional short film by writer/director Dawn Fields

    This is an extremely powerful and emotional short film. It really begs the question of what would you do in this situation? Director/Writer Dawn Fields did an exceptional job of directing, concentrating on emotions not just from her characters but from her audience and...it worked. A story about an important yet delicate issue you hopefully will never have to encounter. Starring Lance Henriksen.

    great plot twists, incredible storyline.

    this short film caught me completely by surprise, I was reviewing submissions for the film festival, Big House Los Angeles, and when fragile Storm came in I was drawn to it immediately, I have always been an admirer of Lance Henriksen's work as an actor, the story was mysterious, and very cleverly hinted that something was amiss, it kept me engaged, and when it reveals itself it was definitely worth the wait, the film went on to win awards at the festival, and had a second screening, audiences loved it, and wanted more, it was overwhelming how many people asked it it would be screened again, and everyone, including myself was wondering the same question, when will this fantastic story become a feature film.
