Good people of Letterboxd, I want to share with you this short film that I did. It played at a couple festivals here in California, so I'm ready to set it free. This was a challenge through and through, and though there are a few things I'd do differently, I'm still quite proud of what my cast and crew helped create. It's a very personal movie to me, but I hope you all will have fun with it. I'd love to hear what you all think.
Watch here.
Every now and then when I'm at the movies, I'll momentarily shift my attention from the film to my view of the audience of silhouetted heads watching the film. It's just a little personal thing, maybe a reminder why I love going there, but it always puts a smile on my face. Watching Roma, sitting in the back of the gorgeous Vista theater in Los Feliz, I was struck by a scene in which the camera is placed behind two…
Hard for this not to get overshadowed by RIFIFI, which came out just a year before, but the cool charm and Melville's unmatched precision behind the camera elevate the back half into something supremely entertaining.
At one point, a character grabs a doorknob and it turns into a penis.
I shouldn't have to say more.
