Christopher Nolan is the man. I’m sorry, that’s SIR Christopher Nolan. When it comes to directorial debuts, this is among some of the few that have stuck out to me the most. Not only is it a good film, but the production history is really cool. This only had a budget of six thousand dollars, which is awesome and incredible. It was also only shot on the weekends for a couple months, since the cast had full time jobs during the week. It just goes to show you that you don’t need a bunch of money or equipment to make something spectacular. You just need passion, patience, and a drive to do something incredible. To someone like myself, who’s dabbled in short film making, it’s so inspirational to see something so wonderful be made using what you have. Anyways, with a runtime of only seventy minutes, it’s not super long, but excellently paced. It’s long enough to deliver a productive story, but also doesn’t waste any time getting to the meat of it. I love long films, but short ones are great, too. The acting was pretty good, though occasionally there were a couple corny moments. But not often. I also loved the way everything looked. The black and white accentuates the plot and mood in a very mysterious way. If it was in color, I don’t think it would’ve hit as hard. Lastly, the score was really good. It reminded me a lot of ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘The Snowman’. It was very ominous, yet beautiful and reminiscent. Overall, this film is a strong debut in a masterful collection by Sir Christopher Nolan, and it’s very inspirational to me. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but you can see the love and effort put into it. Bravo! I would recommend this to most crime/thriller fans. This film is officially Berry Approved, so go check it out now!
