Emo Pill

Anthony's latest short film shows his growth as both a director and writer. Without dialog, Spadaccini has taken an in-depth look and approach to a turmoil-engulfed teen life, and brought about an unusual solution that is deceptive in its simplicity and elegance. Whereas filmmakers are striving to ensure full breath of visual artistry with the latest effects, Anthony takes a more realistic and achievable approach so as not to throw the viewer off the story line. An artistic mixture of black and white, the film never veers to far from the confines of video, but its never an issue. What would be a turn-off for some viewers looking for a straightforward story enlightens this little gem with off-kilter characters within a tight, claustrophobic space. Well done.

This is an excellent short film. What great meaning there is for the young man and the fight against his own life. He sees his life in such a bad light. It is amazing how the pill provides a new life that gives him his perception of his life in a much better light. There is great genius behind this film and makes a very powerful statement without saying a word. That is one of the things that makes this short film so great- it says a lot without saying anything at all. Kudso to the entire cast and crew of this film. I am definitely looking forward to seeing others and recommend them to anyone who wants to see a great film with solid meaning behind it.
