A review by Kristian Schmutz

Written by Kristian Schmutz on 2026-04-01

"WAIT AND REMAIN is a short thriller made by Columbia College students in Fictional Cinema Production, a class that I have taught many times and it is easily one of the top short films that I've seen in many years. What stands out is the suspense and the creation of an alternate reality. It will drop on YouTube in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime, please check the trailer and then the movie--it is like a short Black Mirror episode!" - Michael Caplan via Linkedin ( https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7444090090747830272/?originTrackingId=82YqSSEL592sPmLOQ7K7ow%3D%3D )
