SHORT FILM REVIEW

Simply awesome & thrilling. Beautifully shot.

“Miracle Fish is a surprisingly little film that quietly examines the ways in which the words we use and the actions we take can impact our everyday lives. Simultaneously magical and haunting, “Miracle Fish” is a film that will keep you on the edge of your seat until its final moments.”
