  1. This is a really neat idea. I like the contrast that you would be showing between the two girls. Definitely a statement.

  2. The phrases are weak but the script concept is strong. The visual impact would be big. You could likely produce this without any dialogue at all. You need to find a way to wrap it up at the end. Find a conclusion.
