Independent Short Film: Last Day Dream

December 29th, 2011

I found this Independent Short Film recently and I was pretty impressed. 
I should say up front that there is one usage of a word which some might find objectionable.

Here are some bulletpoints as to why I like it so much:

• Largely without dialogue
• Exceedingly short (It was entered into a 42-second Film Festival)
• Shows glimpses of typical life experiences (similar to this short film)
• First Person Perspective
• Moving soundtrack, in terms of instruments and pace
• I’ve confirmed that the man saying the objectionable word is Pauly Shore

One last observation:  The composure first shot is almost identical to the final shot, which, although dynamically different, completes the story with perfect closure. 

And something perhaps philosophical to consider:  Life looks remarkably different depending on where you are in it, whether you are in the swing being pushed, or if you are the one pushing.
