My Backyard Was a Mountain (2005)
Superbly crafted, touching short film

This wonderful, touching little short is amazing. Great script, great direction, great acting, great cinematography, great editing, amazing soundtrack. I don't know that I've seen a more mature, assured little short film in any of the many film festivals I've attended. I loved this movie. Actually, the story is still haunting me, a couple days after seeing the short. What lives on are the visual images. The sign of a great screenwriter is someone who can write visual images (not just boring dialog, how much dialog can you remember from your favorite movie? Not much, compared to the visual imprint the pictures made.) I can't wait to see a feature from this director. Hopefully Hollywood won't mess him up.
