Kerr’s first feature could have used some tightening up, but it brings to light the plight of someone who living in crisis mode and approaches that relatable topic not with cynicism but hope.

There have been great examples of aspiring actors breaking into the mainstream through DYI, and, well, by being scrappy. As actor/director/writer/producer Vivian Kerr's first feature, SCRAP, is surprisingly well-crafted.

Through Scrap, Vivian Kerr is trying to talk about the repercussions of not accepting one’s responsibility as an adult and how said repercussions increase tenfold when you have a sibling who sees you as a baby.

Rated: 3/5

This film is a pretty good affirmation that honesty and love can help overcome perceived tragedy and disheartenment, while enriching that experience called “Life”.

Rated: 3.5/5

Seventh Art Studio

Vivian Kerr wrote, produced, directed and starred in her directorial debut. Ultimately this gave the film an authentic feeling, but made the audiovisual experience quite flat. Some good moments of silence amidst dubious acting. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 6/10

Battle Royale With Cheese

Farr from being a gloomy mood-sapper, Scrap offers rays of hope to all of its characters, realistic and satisfying resolutions to their issues.
