Indeed, a good story can get past less good technicals. But great technicals are useless against a crap story (see: Pirates of the Carribean sequels).
Having said that, one of the best ways to enhance a story is to also get your technicals right.

Thanks for the comments, glad most of you liked it.

Yeah, I agree. For me, telling the story and focussing on emotions is definitely more important than the technicals are, but the technicals are still extremely important and should never be disregarded just because the story is what matters more. I do think the story matters more, but technicals still matter a lot.

Just wanted to add that I showed your short to a couple of mates and they were all scared to death and very impressed with what good soundwork and a clear narrative can do. Was fun watching them, especially towards the end.
