Good experimental Film
wildcardpictures24 August 2006
I think this film was shot on 8mm. Cool little film. Saw it at a film festival in NYC. Right in the middle of some pretty 35mm shorts. This film didn't look that great, but I think that was the point. Sort of Home Movies of a person's life from birth to death without using a person in the entire film.

The sound effects told the story with the simple images. Whoever did the sound design on this film is very talented. They nailed the emotions of the different stages of life. Cool idea for a film. It was fun to see something different than the usual shorts I see at festivals. Good to see some originality. Best experimental I've seen....well it's probably the only good experimental film I've seen.

A nice poem

I liked this short film a lot. The world of shorts shown at festivals needs more films like this. There are so many bad shorts at festivals and this wasn't one of them. That's for sure!! Nice poem/experimental film about the stages of life mainly told to you through the sound design. The film was shot I think on 8mm to show a sort of home video style, but it's the sound that really tells the story. Nicely put together film done in just 3 minutes. It really moved me and gave me chills too. And it made me think about my own life. And that's what short films should be about. It's simple. Too many short filmmakers are trying to tell too much without having much substance. Less is better because it opens the mind up for our own personal imagination.
