Last Meal (2018)
Ironically a Feel-Good
Politics around the death penalty and last meals shouldn't have myself feeling great for the protagonist, but they were essential to the story, nonetheless. And this short is a euphemism of exactly that; nuances of emotion, duty, and where importance lies at the end of the day. A simple, intriguing plot with commendable acting definitely goes a long way.
Doesn't Fall Far (2020)
Apples and Trees
It's relatively easy to preach from a moral high ground until you're looking eye to eye. Something about Doesn't Fall Far (2020) and its suggestive title will reel you into the distinct, but shockingly not uncommon situation families can face. The thin lines idling between need and desire, survival and morality, and truth and sacrifice are put at the forefront- much to the discomfort of some audiences. No, it's more prevalent than one might think. It's only a secret because no one wants to talk about it.
Martha (2019)
Compelling and Despondent
Redundancy can either be gotten used to or turn into annoyance. While Martha (2019) is reminiscent of the mundanity brought by isolation and repeating routines on the daily, a lone voice message as the only source of social connection can be maddening. So much so that it gave a riveting storyline from beginning to end, with "context clues" scattered about various scenes to piece together the present mystery. Martha (2019) was despondent in that we may never be aware of how our actions ripple to affect others- even those we don't notice for we stay engrossed, deceptively alone, as if last people on Earth.
