This short film comes across like it could've been a candidate for the 1980s revival series. The filmmakers undoubtedly were inspired by it.
One of Mars Hill productions' hailed Evangelism Trilogy films from the late 1980s/early 1990s. A group of teenagers are blindsided by a truck, after which four of them find themselves suspended in a state between life and death. Flashing between clips from their memorial service, and a long line of people waiting to hear their eternal destination from a man at a computer. Yes, it's an odd setup, what the producers call an abstract representation of Matthew 25:31-46.
The tone of this film is quite morose, with the target audience seemingly other Christians, and the goal of getting them to tell their unsaved friends about the Gospel. In this, it has its effective moments.
Detracting from the film is the gloom that hangs over it. Even the characters who go to Heaven are unhappy. And the decision making process - step to the right/left-comes across as arbitrary.
From what I hear now, this movie had its desired effect on many who saw it, and that's the pass/fail determining factor for projects like these, I suppose.
