Conventional
This 9 minute short written, directed and staring Karen Gillan is only hard to watch because I felt it addresses a topic few people want to recognize.
So many people want to be a star. They grow up hoping and planning; thinking "That will be the day! That will solve all my problems." But in today's real world we should temper these dreams with the realization that it will not last forever. If it happens and you succeed that is great, but realize this dream is fleeting, and there is always another artist on the verge of discovery, and that their discovery may end your time in the spot light, just as your discovery may have ended someone else's time in the spotlight.
Other than a smart subject matter that might be a jagged pill for some people to swallow, this film is quick, fun and fantastic. Karen did a great job with this film, and I can't help but wonder how often she wrestles with the reality she portrays in this short.
The write up by Ivan Kander after the short is a quick fun informative read. An easy 4 out of 5 stars. Take 10 minutes and enjoy the film and write up. https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2015/10/27/coventional/
