The Lost School (2011)
A truly emotional piece of work, which everybody needs to see
I remembered researching in history lessons about Norfolk during WWII and I came across a story, a story about this small village and the people in it having no option but to leave their homes and say goodbye to their past pretty much. Then randomly i searched for something video-wise on youtube and came across this film. Reasons for my generous rating is basically how original yet so simple "The Lost School" is. Nobody's ever come across a story like this before, especially in Norfolk and more importantly how intelligent the story is. You can tell A LOT has been put into this - time and effort combined. I'm not used to ratings and reviewing but I felt that I had to with this one because I really felt something for this short film and how emotional I really felt for the characters and world in which they lived in more specifically West Tofts village. It's up on youtube. Watch it. I urge you!
Bangers & Gàsh (2012)
A comedic short
This is a university film that I watched some time ago, thought it was HILARIOUS! The sheer amount of thought, time and effort that was put into this is incredible. And the characters were nothing but lovable and sympathetic creatures which I want to see more of. I really hope there's a sequel basically. However I did think it was obviously influenced by such things as "The Office" due to the common fashion of having the 'mockumentary' look a little too cliché nowadays. I didn't quite like the idea of being constantly reminded that I was watching a documentary about the world's worst chef... but that's me being completely picky.
Overall loved it! With a passion!
