"Caleb King made a tremendous short film with the look of a major studio epic with his project, Gardenia. The post-apocalyptic setting of the story normally makes it nearly impossible for an independent film director to pull off, but Caleb masterfully captured the story with stunning visuals and heart-pounding pace, while weaving in an emotional, heartbreaking moment to end the film.”
