David

A weird and funny triangle which turns to be surprising. A film about family relationships which take too much space, between a father and his son.

I think people do not realise how hard it is to tell a story in 10 minutes.

This is a short film.

It is not a video, it is not a segment, it is a full on film.

And it is done in 10 minutes. Fantastic writing.

David

The feeling you see Will Ferrel sitting there as a dead serious shrink and know that he would explode at any second. You love to see it.

DAVID starts as a dark comedy and gradually grows as an exploration of an ordinary(-ish) father-and-son relationship that will questions about what we need in our life. In his first directorial debut, Zach Woods has proven himself to be a director to watch. And with strong performances from all cast, this is definitely a joy to watch.

It's fun to see Will Ferrel go a little darker in this short film with a role custom built just for him. I love that there are two characters named David and they both need help. All in all, a memorable dramedy short.
