Great Work

A review of Heart Attack

by Fitl on 05/12/2011

Rom Com's are not really my thing, but, regardless, your short is solid. The casting of the female lead is perfect, always glowing and blundering right on cue. The lighting and camera work was very cool, especially that time-lapse montage on her dates. And for some reason, I really liked how the ex-boyfriend looked so confused in the beginning. My only criticism... Too much... read

Visually Cool, But Comedically Dry

A review of My One and Only

by Fitl on 03/28/2011

The animation in your film is very cool and stylish. Half the time I cannot tell whether it is computer or actual cut outs. It's very impressive and the way you design your characters has a twisted appeal. However, I found the humour could not keep up with the animation. Whereas the animation has a creepy funniness about it, a guy falling in love and marrying himself could... read

A Hard Question

A review of Dangerous Enough

by Fitl on 03/09/2011

The film poses an intense question about America and nationality. Not to mention racism, but I think all the arguments go hand-in-hand. The film is very in our face and needs to be so. Your performance, as always, fits the bill. Your intensity is what sells me on all of these films. The stuff you write and how you read it is very raw, personal, and haunting. Another vote for... read

Stilting History

A review of Ha-wón-je-tah (Final)

by Fitl on 03/09/2011

The film is an interesting piece of history that I did not know anything about. However, I had a hard time watching for the same reasons I have trouble watching civil war documentaries or serials on jazz. That still-image effect. Whenever a documentary is mostly in still shots, I tune out. It is not to say that the images are not well done, but without any interviews or more... read

The Talent Is There

A review of Crazy Love

by Fitl on 03/05/2011

To be honest, the rom-com is never really my cup of tea. There are certain exceptions, but usually it has do with the talent of the filmmaker's and how they approach the touchy-feely stuff. Having suddenly been hooked on "How I Met Your Mother" as of late, I kept watching and can say the film is entertaining. The characters and actors are engaging enough that I wanted to see... read

Poetic and Personal

A review of Osiris Torn

by Fitl on 03/04/2011

A lot of people will say that filmmakers should not make films for themselves, but this film is an example of how that is exactly what they should do. The film has so much originality, intercutting between CGI mythological sequences, to comedic morning routine, to beat poetry, all to a soundtrack of sweet soul music. I have never seen anything like this and that is exactly... read

A Work of Genius

A review of It's Just A Movie

by Fitl on 03/04/2011

This film is amazing. At first when I saw the person with the ax, I was expecting a laughable student horror film. Instead, I got a surreal experience I will never forget. This film floored me. I cannot fathom how you ever conceptualized this. It is possibly the most original short I have ever seen and I have seen many shorts. I have no constructive criticism except that this... read

A Nice Film

A review of Summer Lovin

by Fitl on 02/28/2011

A nice film. Cute. The subject is introduced very laughably with the direct reference to the camera, and then we follow of him on his journey to find or be found by love. It's a classic premise and still around for a very good reason, but I think you could have gotten more out of it. The music was just the right amount of cheesy. There might have been a little too much of... read

Stylistically Creepy

A review of Avow

by Fitl on 02/22/2011

Avow has all the makings of a really unsettling short. The film works on its own consciousness and uses that to create a great coiling effect. But what throws me off, the text instead of a voice-over. I'm not saying that the text is unnecessary. I just think such a twisted character should be heard, even if it is not even his voice (a robot's even) actually speaking to us... read

Not Much to Be Desired

A review of Finding the Words

by Fitl on 02/17/2011

I really wanted to like this short. A few reasons: (1) it's short, (2) the photography looks great, and (3) there's minimal dialogue. You had a very good structure in mind when you made this, but I had a tough time with it because I know nothing and never learn anything about the characters. I don't mean to be harsh. I'm assuming that was the point, but if that is so, then... read
