  Kurung Manuk won 5 nominations in Los Angeles Underground Film Forum 2016 for best underground feature film, best foreign language feature film, best experimental feature,best first feature and Winner of Jury Award.And your movie flutter echo didn't won anything. What is it feel get beat by a guy who you bullied for about 5 years for no reason? Keep on trying. I will keep on rising.

• very awful amateurish attempt at making a film

  terrible, terrible amateurish attempt at making a "movie". Honestly the original idea of the film is a bit interesting, a kid who has supernatural powers. Aside from that everything else about it is just amateurish. Really really bad camera-work ,shaky, out of focus a lot, and the list goes on and on, editing is terrible as well, no pacing, really bad cutting, color grading is non-existent, probably just used a LUT for everything, the story jumps all over the place and is not coherent. certain scenes are inserted, which have no clear connection to the overall story, just because the director has some personal vendetta with somebody. Don't get me started on the acting..just absolutely awful. best to avoid this amateurish attempt of a film at all costs All in all i was very very disappointed with this film. I liked the idea of a kid who has supernatural powers and becomes aware of the what these powers can actually do. In the end the film feels just like a mix of different shots, some of which were taken straight from his short films and have no connection to the actual story of the feature length film. very bad, not worth watching at all
