P-Town

P-Town - A throaty car signals the throaty issues spread through out this short. Conflicts of childhood sexuality are deeply confounded by remnants of fascist thinking lingering in the present. Real time social issues provide the backdrop to play out these social ills which will just not die and go away. When will we get to our own P-Town? I want to know what happens.

There are a lot of twists and turns in such a short story. Nothing goes as we expected it to go. The story that seems mundane at first rapidly takes a spin into dark and serious mather. But yet again, it all goes in an unexpected direction that keeps us on our toes.

The production is professional for such a short film. Lights, direction, and acting are all to a high level and provide satisfying viewing. Especially the challenging acting parts that feel honest, on the right tone, and give a lot to the story without saying many words. Kudo to the actors.

The photo direction is to a very high level. Every shot in the movie looks like a painting. You can feel that a lot of care has gone into painting the emotion on the screen with colors, light and the deep shadows.

I would have like a more active camera, but that comes down to personnal taste. We see all we nee to see, when we need to see it.

A great little film that takles serious matters, in a loving way.

This short film is written and directed with sensitivity, but it is the performance from the two leads that shines the most. Their chemistry--especially given their very different personas--is magnetic in an oddly compelling fashion and contrasts with the shock of the ending.

This is an unconventional love story that highlights homophobia and neo-nazis topics in a sensible and artistic way.

I particularly like the poster that encapsulates the Concept and the Lights of this night scene which capture the darkness of the human soul and set it against this message of hope.

Kudos to the actors and the quality of the photography!

Aside from the great acting, cinematography, and direction of the film, the story surprises you when discover the characters' underlying emotions. You sense their apprehension; you feel for them. I wonder how it will end but, most importantly, how everything began.
