Director Nathan Ginter’s intense short drama Last Seen is a compelling look at a young man’s mental descent in the wake of his sister’s disappearance. Narratively, Ginter’s story doesn’t fit into your archetypal narrative structure, instead, he opts for a more slice-of-life approach, showing us the progression of the main character Devon’s psychological fracturing from the off as he struggles to function within his mundane routine. This natural approach to plot is juxtaposed with an intense visual stylisation, as we see the story play out through a series of beautifully composed heavy close ups that artistically emulate Devon’s cerebral state. Dn is delighted to premiere Ginter’s tale of turmoil on our pages today in conjunction with an interview where he opens up on his precise and considered cinematic approach, his obsession with brine shrimp, and the frantic last minute nature of the shoot.
