Poignant performance by lead actress, BEST KEPT SECRET is a well directed short film that touches on a topic that is not really talked about. Malik Booth exposes this controversial subject in a well crafted short that allows you to feel a part of the relationship of this story. Films like this are important to every community as this topic makes the viewer think hard about this situation that many would rather not discuss, let alone watch on the screen. I would have liked to see this story told on film rather than in High Definition, but the performances of the actors and the quality of the storytelling surpass my technical issues with this short. I would like to see what would happen if the story was longer. Malik Booth does a good job of bringing you into the story and allowing the viewer to care about the characters.
