The Kingdom of Shadows

This is truly a great film. Hard to believe that low budget Shorts can have such a high production values. I mean this films has Extensive sets, loads of costumes, a 1900's train bellowing smoke onto the cast and best of all some cool cgi ghost effects. The writer director is obviously from the Spielberg school of film-making with the main protagonist being a young child and the story involving strong fantasy themes. The camera is kinetic and the use of dolly shots sets it apart from many other low budget films that come out. The film is a little rough around the edges but this is forgiven as the raw talent of the filmmakers shines through. Ross Shepherd is one to watch for the future.
