I usually think Star Wars fan films are awful (even the popular ones), but this one impressed me on several levels.

Makes Kylo seem more capable than he really would be, especially in such a situation as facing his fanboy idol.

I did like Spoiler
Vader taunting him by calling him Ben

Meh, it was okay. Good production values for a fan production.

Only works as showing Kylo Ren's slow descent into madness.

Spoiler
Wasn't it an obvious riff on the cave scene from TESB? Also, did you see the post credits scene? This is supposed to take place immediately prior to TFA.

Yeah this was pretty good. However the pinnacle of Star Wars fan films, to me, will always and forever be Troops.

Production values were very solid, but I agree with TRR, there's no way "Kylo Ren" would fantasize about his #1 Crush like this.
Rule #1: Believe the autocrat. He means what he says.
Rule #2: Do not be taken in by small signs of normality.
Rule #3: Institutions will not save you.
Rule #4: Be outraged.
Rule #5: Don’t make compromises.

Unless Rey was right in TLJ and he fears that he'll never be as strong as Darth Vader.

Maybe it's just Snoke gaslighting him. *shrugs*
