Director Statement

Great independent movie!

"Modern Dilemma" is an exciting independent short film with a modern drama romance story, great characters, sharp dialogue, solid camera work, impressive art direction, fitting music, and excellent editing. The actors almost always deliver first-class performances with real passion and energy.

"Modern Dilemma" is really good for its very low budget! Due to the budget, there are some technical weaknesses, but that doesn't detract from the enjoyment at all. Unfortunately, it's short because of that.

Thanks to all involved for the great work!
