When watching this, it's helpful to view it as perhaps the first scene, post-opener, of an as-of-yet unmade feature length Superman film, as that is what it feels like. The casting is perfect with the lead actor embodying the Clark Kent character and the dialogue is exceptionally well put together as we watch Clark in full reporter mode interviewing a young teenage runaway as part of a "human interest" story. Watching Clark conducting an interview with a young girl he meets walking in the park may not seem the most captivating of scenes but it's all in the detail. We get to watch Clark interact with humanity, as he asks questions to the girl that prompt her to think about her situation, why she is running away from home and why "God" doesn't simply intervene in our lives when times are challenging.

Cinematography wise, it's difficult to critique a short film that is essentially one scene of two people talking on a park bench. What I would say however is that it's very crisply shot, using close ups to convey subtle emotive expressions and wide angles occasionally, the natural outdoor lighting making the resolution that much brighter. It feels close and intimate.

It's genuinely the best take I have seen on the Clark Kent character I have ever seen on film and left me wanting to watch a full length film with this take on the character.
