I really enjoyed the film, From Venus. I like how in the beginning it looks like it was filmed on a 1980s camcorder. I also enjoyed the background music and the acting.
The storyline follows a teenage girl named Hazel (Jasmine Sunshine Munoz) who along with her sister Lilly (Jordan Villegas) stargaze. We fast forward a few years when Hazel has gone to camp and is sad because her sister Lilly has passed away. She meets a peculiar bunkmate and notices similarities between her new friend and the aliens in the comic book.
The film is well made with good camera work and good audio. This story is very imaginative. I really like the part when Hazel has just made friends with an alien, but doesn't know it yet. The cinematography in this film is great, as are the sets and locations. One set that I like in particular is where Hazel roasts her marshmallow. The background music is terrific.
The film's message is that, even if someone has passed, they will always be with you.
I give From Venus 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Gavin S., KIDS FIRST!

This dramedy follows Hazel, a young girl who has been obsessed with space, aliens, and comic books since she could remember. After losing her older sister, Hazel is sent to summer camp where she meets her rather peculiar bunkmate for summer, Nelia. As the first days of camp unfold, Hazel begins to notice similarities between her new friend and the aliens in her comic book. She uses her investigation as a distraction from her grief only to be confronted by her true feelings, in an effort to discover a truth, not only about Nelia but about herself.
