The Bridge

I caught this at the Farm to Film Fest this year and it was honestly my favorite short I've seen in a while. I usually don't watch shorts to be completely honest, but something about the opening scene really pulled me in and I stayed for the entire duration. Highly recommend it, the acting was really good and I enjoyed the direction.

Charlie and Amir were just so amazing, and the story was really compelling and emotionally grounded. The dads were really really good too, I enjoyed the character of Ahmed a lot.

If you're looking for a great understated gem for this year, I would definitely recommend this one.
