In 2004, Michael J. Arbouet's New York Minute, a short fictional story about the assassination attempt on New York City's mayor, was heralded as a gripping edgy film short about how many choices someone could make in a minute. Arbouet's new film short, Falling (premiered at the Long Island International Film Expo in July), uses cinematic form and a unique editing style to encompass the emotional journey one goes through when they fall in and out of love. It's amazing the way the Arbouet visually shows the raw and powerful emotion of the characters. Especially through his editing style. He was able to tap in to that energy and remind me of what I went through when I was in love and when I was going through heartache. Michael earned his nickname well as the "Story Teller." I hope this film gives him the recognition he deserves he is defiantly one of the new rising stars among the new generation of directors.
