Strings

Visually stunning ~ a poem in full length film Great chemistry between lead couple Beautiful!

Two writers from different worlds come together to inspire each other and possibly find more in this romantic drama. Written, directed, and starred by E.P. Macalma and Rebekah Hart Franklin, and it's easy to see that they both laid it on the line for this project. Beautifully shot by Pascal Payant, with a constantly moving camera, you get swept away and led on a dream-like experience, as we are never too sure if we are experiencing what is real for Kat and E, or if it's just part of each of their fantasy. Being from the minds of two writers, it's strongest when we are getting the voice overs from our leads. Where a movie with can over do it with flashbacks and voice over work, this actually excels with it as it taps into that dream feel. While I was taken aback by a dizzying 360° shot scene midway, it was more than made up for with one towards the end. And coming in at just under 57 minutes, the story doesn't allow itself to drag on.

From the moment I started watching "Strings" I was totally hooked. The storytelling is unique and poetic, with stunning visuals and haunting music. You quickly become engrossed in the characters' struggles and relationships. Do yourself a favor and give this film a watch!
