    great

    A great short film first for ideas proposed. A film about mistakes of past of a man, the intention of his daughter to save him, about a form of redemption and the loneliness as protection vest, about two thieves and a knife stroke, about the end of world, reminding Melancholia and beautiful - impressive cinematography. The dialogue father - daughter represents the axis of this film who I real live as a sort of revision of personal experiences. And the acting represents, in same measure, a significant virtue. In short, just great, scene by scene, as a sort of brilliant demonstration of love and redemption.

    Boshack: A stellar journey through life and earth

    "Boshack" is a beautiful cinematic experience that transports audiences to the edge of their imagination. Director Rakib Erick's visionary storytelling and innovative direction create a mesmerizing tapestry of intrigue and wonder.

    Visually, "Boshack" is a feast for the eyes. The director's use of color and light creates a tapestry that is both otherworldly and grounded, a reflection of the film's dual nature.

    The cinematography is nothing short of breathtaking, with each frame meticulously composed to enhance the story's emotional impact.

    The performances in "Boshack" are uniformly excellent, with the cast delivering nuanced portrayals that resonate with authenticity especially the scenes between father and daughter. The actors navigate the emotional and intellectual demands of Rakib Ericks script with a grace that speaks to their talent and his direction.

    The score of "Boshack" is a subtle yet powerful force, weaving through the narrative and accentuating the film's themes.

    Overall, I really liked the film and hope to see what the director takes us next with his next film!

    Beyond incredible performance and writing! We want more 👍

    This short film is just inspiring from the acting, writing, lighting, set design, make up and editing. Every detail was accounted for and it showed. This is the result from years of studying and having a knowledgeable crew by your side.

    Knowing that the world as you know it is coming to an end. You try to bring those closest to you blood wise to a safe space. Even if your past demons clash. Wanting to put that behind, the main character seeks out her father living in the out back held up in a rundown shack. But was this the best choice for the both of them? Or did it make the decision easier for them to walk away from what should have been?

    More episodes would be highly appreciated 🙏

    • Trivia
      In 2018, Sean Roberts Metcalfe revealed to Rakib Erick that he lived in a shack (later used for filming) for almost one year to have a break from everything and wanted to be isolated. That inspired Rakib to write the script for Boshack.
