4 out of 5 stars.
Wow, this 8 min 1950's themed short looks fantastic. Like many of these shorts their success is completely dependent on all aspects of the film working together. This short does not disappoint. The look is great right out the gate with setting, lighting, and production. Next the writing has to be on point to get the message across to the viewer, and it has to be supported by the score. Finally the actors need to deliver believable dialogue. This film is a joy to watch because it doesn't let the viewer down on any of these critical points.
Written and Directed by Luke Guidici, who has 8 credits as director as well as 8 writing credits. I have not seen any of his other work, YET! Luke Guidici obviously had a clear image of his story, adapted from "The Open Window" by Saki, in mind and was able to clearly direct it right onto the screen.
Thomas Garner and Rebecca Spicher are the actors that bring this story to life and allow us to get drawn in and grabbed by this story.
The write up by Rob Munday is fun and informative, and worth the extra couple minutes for the read.
