The Yellow

I had the chance to attend the premiere of The Yellow at TIFF 2024 with my wife, and we were absolutely blown away! This film is a true gem. The writing is sharp and witty, and the direction is masterful, especially considering it's a short film. Haley Joel Osment and Marin Hinkle are at the top of their game, effortlessly blending deep emotional moments with perfectly timed comedy. The humor adds just the right touch of levity to the story, making it both heartfelt and fun. Every scene felt meticulously crafted, giving the film a polished, cinematic quality that's rare in short films. The strength of the two leads is undeniable, pulling you into their journey and making you laugh and feel right along with them. It's honestly one of the best short films I've seen in a long time.

Great dead-on acting performance. One could feel the character's grief and despair. No hope. Keep up the great work and remain steady. Watch out for smiling faces who sometimes pretend to be your friend. I would recommend this film to everyone, because everyone knows someone, a friend, sibling, parent, yourself who faces these lulls. One can never really appreciate the majesty of the highest mountain peaks unless they have been in the lowest, darkest valleys. Tough times don't last but tough people do. Times have changed. It's scary and frightening to many people around the globe, maybe in space too. SkyLab out.
