"Redemption, Tears & Trains""Walter Alza's Redemption, Trains and Tears is a bold and courageous effort. It is an achievement in DV film making both technically and artistically and engages the audience with its moving story line." -- Bill Coulter , Toronto One
"Very moving!!! A fantastic short, the music truly emphasized the feelings that were unspoken. It's a happy ending that still leaves us with the question...what happens next?" -- Camilla Di Giuseppe City TV (CP24) News Anchor
"One of the coolest-looking and most moving short films I have seen in a long time. The combination of emotional acting, gutsy camera work and colorful digital effects gives it a dream-like quality that reminds me of German silent film in the 1920s. The music adds additional punch with which to draw out the viewers emotions. Despite almost no dialogue, you have given your characters such a human face that only the hard hearted and cynical could watch it and NOT be moved. Good work my friend and best of luck."
-- Jason Reid, Producer/Writer/ Channel 23 Journalist
"Great flick!!! I thought that with the little amount of time you had to write and shoot this short, the outcome is awesome. The actors and the way it was shot depict the story very well. I also like the fact that there is no dialogue, it makes the viewer put their own emotions and thought into what is going on." -- Elite Athlete Management
"...beautifully shot short drama.." -- Zed TV
"I just watched redemption...it was absolutely visually stunning--and a surprise touching ending with the little girl and her father. Congrats Walter, it makes me want to get back to making films." -- Sharon Lewis CBC ZeD host
NOTE: Redemption, Tears & Trains was NOT produced as a commercial vehicle but as an experiment of new technologies while being a part of a competition.
