If anyone wants a template on how to do a decent short film, use this.
It's fantastic.
This short film defies being only 12 minutes long and packs a mighty punch. It's furiously paced, right from the start, and has a funky soundtrack to keep the energy buzzing along. It looks great too, with cool camera angles and even a bit of slow motion thrown in. But what really makes it, what everyday viewers will like, are the characters.
And what characters there are! The two young kids, Nathan and Mo work so well together. They're funny, and they're likable. You can't wait to see them get into trouble, and then get out of trouble. Thankfully, they've got something to work against in the form of Kevin, an outrageous psychotic drug dealer, who curiously is still very funny and likable (despite the Travis Bickle haircut!).
This is a great short film because it's made from the right recipe: brilliant story, brilliant characters and brilliant acting. Good job.
