Festividder, this is absolutely wonderful. Great editing (quicker in the right places, slower and reflective in the right places, pauses in the right places - just awesome), plus, this song choice for these two and now I'm not crying, ok, there's just something in my eye. I knew I was sold on Defiance from the very moment Irisa and Nolan sang Johnny Cash together, and this vid beautifully explores that dynamic while getting under Irisa's tough exterior to the complicated girl/woman underneath. This song always gets me - great choice lyrically and also for bringing a quiet, vulnerable, meditative tone to this story. I'm am so in love with this, thank you so much!!!

I don't know the source at all, but I got to know this character through the vid. I liked what I saw. Solid musicality, and I could tell there was some powerful contextual work happening too.

Gorgeous!
I love Irisa's story, and her and Nolan's relationship, too. Excellent stuff!

I adore this song and you used the intimacy and grandness of it to great effect in your narrative. It was very clear and drew me in.

I love the fade to black while she goes to him around 3:04.

I don't know the source, but this was lovely, very bittersweet, intriguing visuals, and I liked what you did around the moments of pause in the music.
