Had the good pleasure of seeing this film at the HollyShorts Festival at Grauman's Chinese in Hollywood recently, and all I can say is it makes you think.
In fact, in Director/Producer Sam Borowski's Q&A after the film, he said he made it so people would think. (I am paraphrasing somewhat, but that was the gist of it.) And, when you see the film, you will understand completely.
Having seen NIGHT CLUB - Borowski's last feature - at Newport Beach last year, I was very familiar with his work, and have met him before, one of the draws to me coming out and seeing this excellent short. However, I wasn't expecting what I got - and that is not a bad thing. In fact, it was an excellent surprise.
Without delving too much into the subject matter, all I will say is the way people react to their plants and their environment plays into the theme of this movie, though it digs deeper - pardon the pun.
Borowski's direction was excellent, as was the acting of SOPRANOS star Federico Castelluccio. I also got a chance to meet actress Maria Rusolo, who did a nice job in the film.
Lisa Buffington co-wrote the script with Borowski for this very original and very timely short movie with a message. All I can say is try and catch it at a festival near you. Borowski mentioned they were playing in several more, and they had hopes to qualify this film for an Oscar.
It wouldn't surprise me a bit, even if this film did. Possibly another excellent surprise related to this film in the future ...
