Ovum (2017)
Far off in the recesses of a desolate beach, a reclusive fisherman makes a discovery that will change his life forever: a giant sea egg, washed up near the ocean shore.

    Interesting watch.

    Acting is pretty good, although the filming is beautiful, it can be a bit distracting flashing from different angles and quite intense, but its quite short. The dialogue is superbly written with an interesting twist.

    A joy to watch!

    Saw this short at it's world premiere at The 2017 Rhode Island International Film Festival Deserved it's selection as winner of Best Film. Blotta's experience as a cinematographer is immediately apparent Every scene conveys it's intended purpose perfectly. A joy to watch. Look forward to his next project.

    Waste of time

    17 mins that would have granted me more enjoyment if I had been waiting for a pot to boil.
