Bury Me Not

Bury Me Not features strong female characters and performances, as well beautiful cinematography. The tension of the story holds through to its surprising conclusion.

The silence after the last scene remains the basic gift of this just impecable film. The cinematography and the acting, the delicate manner to explore sensitive subjects, a Western about minor characters of the genre, the great contrast between room and outside, the splendid construction of dialogue and tension are the good points of this real special short film about choices, truth, women and children. So, great in all the senses.

As a fan and student of the western genre, I can assure you that I've never seen a film in the genre that tackles some of the aspects of frontier life that BURY ME NOT takes on as its narrative material. For this ambition alone, the film is to be lauded. For the simple, quietly fierce conviction of its acting, the understated handsomeness of its lensing, the simmering tension of its music, and the slow-burning force of its ultimate impact, the film is to be cherished. Seek this one out and see it if you can. It will be well worth your time.

It's hard to believe this was done by a small group of people. It's visually impressive and well-shot. For a Western, or maybe even in general, the story is unlike anything I've encountered before. Refreshing to get an original, well-written short!

Cinematically captivating. Very strong performances
